"John, the first thing I like to do when trying to convince the boss that SM is valuable is remind him that we're not talking about S & M. Often this is difficult, given that he's usually wearing a leather hood and studded thong, except on Fridays, which is Hawaiian shirt day. (I like to wear mine with assless pants.) What I want to know is: is there any reason I should care about the numbers of people I'm connected to, or should I focus solely on quality? How does one separate her own identity in the SM space from the company's, or should she?" - Jody Reale
