I agree that those pushing the Arbitration Fairness Act are going to take the study or others like it very seriously. Peter, I applaud you for the unique perspective you have taken on this troublesome issue. I may not entirely agree with your theory, but I believe it it is a very interesting and creative one. And you may be right! But whether you are or not, I appreciate intelligent, creative commentary on important issues, and you certainly provide that. Phil Michael,

Phil Loree just called our attention to a study saying that consumers, or at least some of them, don't do all that bad in arbitration. We should check it out, although I doubt that the members of Congress who are pushing the Arbitration Fairness Act would be interested.
