Then please speak up in other forums whenever you get the chance.  My fear 
is that too many developers will relate modeling with the MDA, then when 
the MDA fails they'll assume that modeling is also a failure.  We need to 
let people know that there is a clear and viable alternative.

For example, a couple of days ago I posted a CFP for an academic MDD 
conference.  These people seem to be wrapped around the MDA vision, and 
they didn't even seem to know about Agile Modeling.  What a shame.
