If you are consistent about tagging all your projects you could, you
could create a custom agenda command for sparse trees in which
org-use-tag-inheritance is turned off.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
      '(("p" "Projects" tags-tree "PROJECT"
	 ((org-show-entry-below t)
	  (org-use-tag-inheritance nil)))
	;; other commands here
	))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

This will create a sparse tree that hides the ONLINE line. E.g., the
following file:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+STARTUP: odd
#+OPTIONS: tags:nil

* Self development 						      :TOPIC:
*** Learn org-mode 						    :PROJECT:
    I improve my GTD implementation.
***** ONLINE post question to org-mode mailing list
*** Learn Esperanto 						    :PROJECT:
  I speak Esperanto fluently.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Will be shown as:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+STARTUP: odd
#+OPTIONS: tags:nil

* Self development 						      :TOPIC:
*** Learn org-mode 						    :PROJECT:
    I improve my GTD implementation.

*** Learn Esperanto 						    :PROJECT:
  I speak Esperanto fluently.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Then you can export only the visible portions of the org file to ascii
(or any other format):

C-c C-e v a

Here is the resulting ascii export:

,----
| Table of Contents
| =================
| 1 Self development
|     1.1 Learn org-mode
|     1.2 Learn Esperanto
| 
| 
| 1 Self development
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
| 
| 1.1 Learn org-mode
| ==================
|     I improve my GTD implementation.
| 
| 1.2 Learn Esperanto
| ===================
|   I speak Esperanto fluently.
`----

You could accomplish the same thing with a slightly different custom
agenda command:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
      '(("p" "Projects" tags-tree "LEVEL=2"
	 ((org-show-entry-below t)
	  (org-use-tag-inheritance nil)))
	;; other commands here
	))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Hope this helps,
Matt
