I also get the impression that Ituski's organization is more mundane than a psychic friends network.  It makes more sense that they gather together for meetings, go out for coffee to share rumors, and maybe even have a secure website, rather than telepathically communicating across the world.<br/><br/>Ituski is supposed to represent the front man of a shadowy conspiracy, and shadowy conspiracies typically coordinate through typical spy movie means.  Maybe they even have the resources to put secret messages in magazines and newspapers.  (they can at least afford cars and such)<br/><br/>But then, I just happen to like using the mundane whenever the mundane is available.  Makes the fantastic more grounded.  (In the Spanish speaking world, it's actually an entire literary style/movement called magical realism, which fits with Haruhi quite well, although 4th wall breaking discussion of anime tropes also works, especially with Haruhi, who is turning the world into an anime to support her desires for a more interesting world.)
