particular rule was broken, in fact, successful mediation amounts to a
pardon for both parties for rule infractions. Go to artibration and chances
are rules have been broken, sometimes by both parties. Right now most of the
arbitrators aren't really hanging judges, but that will change when someone
comes back and back and back to us.
This is a useful observation.
