Ultimately, what you do benefits MM because you speak to a wide audience, and that is your leverage in negotiations. If they give you any carp (and I mean any carp), run lavish Blue Dragon ads at the bottom of every email and send out each FA with a prominent BD bias until they get the hint. You're not a coward, you're a programmer. Programmers are not always good negotiators.
