Sharon- I have seen the superiority of certain views expressed at a
LLL meeting in that last year, so it still goes on. I have been
frowned on for "allowing" my 3 year old to bring candy with her to a
meeting, and I have been afraid to bring snacks because they might not
be good enough. I do my best to look like just a "normal mom" (not
very earthy crunchy) whilst advocating breastfeeding, sometimes just
by doing it. I have "breastfed is bestfed", "human milk for human
babies" bumperstickers on my car, but no more so I don't appear a
zeolot. I'm more likely to buy my husband a breastfeeding t-shirt
than wear one myself.
I dunno- we *do* influence people just by being ourselves, so maybe
people who are actively influencing mothers, such as LLLLeaders, or
IBCLC's just need to be aware of that.

Does "I hope I've answered your questions" mean "Have I answered?"
