What's new here is the implied imperative you missed in the messages from me
and, I believe, Sarah: a website cannot operate in contradiction to the
organization it serves. Or viewed another way, an organization can't be
sustainably changed simply by concocting a new virtual order with a website.
What needs to change *is* the organization.

Now, as I indicated in my earlier post to this thread, a website can be a
very useful tool *if* it's an explicit part of a deliberate process to
change the organization, in which case it represents an integrated direction
as opposed to a lurking contradiction.
