The slides are great, and Gene's suggestions are even better. I would definitely support taking "fanatic" out of officially sanctioned merchandise. Yes, "advocacy" is a better term than "talking." And, finally, to the third of couple of Gene's suggestions, OKF works *with* and builds *on* the work of many other organizations with similar values; this I believe. Highlighting that cooperative quality of OKF would seem like a better strategy than claiming we are unique. (Yes, I am as much a part of OKF as I am of some other organization.)
