Because I suggest using a distributed system as it was designed, 
I'm evangelizing?

Quite honestly you have not explained how you use Mercurial in a 
centralized way, or why anyone else should, you have been pretty 
vague and have really not said much in regard to that use 
specific.

Why don't you explain it? My guess is that you use some of the 
distributed features but fail to acknowledge why or even that 
you do.
