Marc,
I agree with you. I would rephrase your statement as the present setup is not sustainable. You can only fool some of the people some of the time... There are many bells ringing, many whistles blowing, lots of lights going on and off. It is foolish not to give them a second thought and make amends while there still time and opportunity. Sometime down the line it will be too late. We're making a sincere and honest effort here. The last thing we want to say is "I told you so," but the audience keeps on screaming "Kill! Kill!" Its hard to hear anything else over the crowd roar.
Sincerely,
Virgilio A. P. Machado

Let's see what we've got here:
A "Board" that appears answerable only to some god; an "Executive Director" who answers only to this "Board"; a group of "Moderators" who claim (with a straight face) that they are "independent", but whose "moderations" are clearly designed to keep the first two in a favorable light; and, dead last, you have the people who, not so ironically, create the substance of the thing that makes the first three possible. This setup sounds achingly familiar. And, like all similar setups throughout history, is set up to fail.
