Jolette- Sounds like you're out on your own, you really don't have to put on the "act" for anyone, but only you can plan out how long it will take you to make the actual break from the Borg.
I've often wondered how some on the board here still go to keep peace in the family, I know I wouldn't be able to put up with hearing just a minutes worth of hearing those lies spewed forth from the podium !
