I think you are on to something. It can seem to take forever to get agreement when there are more than two parties involved, particularly when you cannot address them all at once. To demonstrate this, has anyone ever tried to get several outspoken and opinionated friends to agree on where to go to dinner. In the absence of some compromise or capitulation, the haggling can go on forever, and result in everyone being dissatisfied with the final choice. I am dissatisfied, but not surprised that we do not have complete agreement of the parties at this point, but I am encouraged that the delay is less than a week. Another thing, don't expect the judge to cram a solution down anyone's throat. He will try to balance the interests of all. Not an easy or enviable job. Once again, we have no choice but to be patient and hope for the best, meanwhile letting those hard working miners grapple with the rock, dirt, and coal. You would not want their job either.
