Somehow he found out about the FAIR critique. I'm sure he'll be tipped off to the upcoming FARMS review.

No.
Perhaps "envision" is the wrong word, since it implies hopeful expectation. Allow me to reword:

You're obviously far more familiar with these organizations than I am, so I must ask: From what you know, where do these organizations fall along the Chapel Mormon/Internet Mormon spectrum? I imagine that all of them other than the new FIRM Foundation fall quite squarely into the FARMS/FAIR sector of Internet Mormonism (otherwise more of us would've heard of them)--is that right?
Yes, that's right. They're not as well-funded/sophisticated as FARMS/FAIR, but they're on the same side of the spectrum.
