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.
