Excellent points. Right now the article is part of my very loosey-goosey collection of article on online interaction at http://www.fullcirc.com/community/communitymanual.htm

Primarily I think I'll be using it as a resource tho, for ongoing interaction groups when some members start to feel fragmented. Or as a way to surface some of these ideas for people who are learning about online faciltiation.

The more I ask myself your question, the more I can see I'm not clear. That is worth tons. Thank you! More work to do!
