Yes, they are part of "we". My question, though, to myself is:

 Do I want to stand on a burning bridge and fall with it?

The problems that ComputerBank are facing are not insurmountable. But
the guard is fracturing and the fighting has already begun...

It does help; I've kept myself busy with other organisations but when I

I would tend to agree but I quote from the same song:
