Nah theres just no process for undoing your submission.

It doesn't matter when it's decremented if you can't interrupt the process, anyway.

In a code sense we pause for input, feed it to the wishmaker function, and pause until the thread returns, then decrement.

We could decrement first, also, but neither violates the rules.
