Will do - already have calmed down.....

While the "push" on mediation completion is irksome, the motion for continuance (different issue, but provides insight) probably explains it.  Apparently there is difficulty for our team to assess/form a cost basis for damages to use in mediation negotiations.  While I don't believe a detailed cost basis would be necessary in "normal" settlement negotiations, I can certainly see the need in court-supervised mediation.

As for the continuance motion, it's explained.  As for the "stipulated judgment" thing in the TPL PR, yup, I need help!  The definition provided does help, but it still confuses.

Until later....
