>Well, while I don't consider myself an evangelist, it occurs to me that this usage of the word may be considered by evangelists, not as self-mockery, but as mockery against evangelists.

If a salesman calls himself an evangelist (or his company does this for/to him), that still sounds ironic, IMO.

Well, knowing my views, I'd equally mock both sorts of evangelists (may include you as well, if you like, but you're not obtrusive enough to deserve this :).
