BG, It has helped me think more clearly to write out my view of my experience.
I hear you and appreciate the thoughtful response, which brings a smile of remembrance for a poster who has stated many of the other posters lack open minds. Clearly, you do.

I truly wish the bank, the investors, the well-served clients, and the employees nothing but the best. I mean no harm as I try to find the right way forward in an awkward situation. Your ideas are good ones. I'm going to pursue this and will try to report any news fairly.

BTW, I like it that you bought WB when it was low and are riding the climb. My smart sister did the same for her several grandchildren, and it's working out well indeed.
