Jimbo, have you read any of Anthere's messages on this?  She has written to
the list and privately to the mediators (copied to you).

mav and 168 *have* been in mediation.  Anthere has spent considerable time
and effort in trying to find solutions.  Suggesting the mediation step was
slighted is really unfair to her.

The real issues are *not* the DNA paragraph, they are issues of perceived
sysop abuse on one side and perceived unfairness on the other.  I realise
you have a lot of reading to do, not a lot of time and so are likely to miss
things, but this is an important point to acknowledge.
