I don't know why or how I got dragged into this situation, but here goes. Torq is the one you have to convince, and that probably can be done. No one walked away from the December massacre with a whole skin, no one! Life is hard sometimes. As you can guess the poor soul is still up to his ass in alligators, so it might take some time for your request to reach his eyes. That too is life. That's about all I can add to your dilemma. Like yourself, l'm just a writer with my own set of problems. Life is not fair, it can be a bitch at times.
