What's more, my utmost fear is, as usual, that we may be preaching to the
choir, and not even to the full choir. As a long-standing MPE Evangelist,
I'd like to preach to the largest possible audience. Any initiative that
widens the congregation deserve due consideration. What is killing MPE is
that its evangelists have merely been talking to each other for about a
decade or so.
