I wasn't attempting to *diminish* it, it was John who introduced the term MMY-speak which John seems to be rather big on. I was just responding directly what I think of MMY-speak. To avoid confusion in future I shall refer to "MMY and all similar prophets, mystics, visionaries and seers." Or have I left anything out?
