what would it hurt to approach Wencor with a quid pro quo? BW is, aside from his petulance, a business man. This decision could hurt Wencor, considerably. If I were he, I'd try to find a way to mitigate the damage.

I think EDIG could play a little hard ball, implying a possible raid on their player.

Time to put away childish things and look for opportunities wherever they are.
