I don't understand this. Michael was explicitly unbanned. The account 
[[User:Mike Grant]] was created in order to allow him to make edits 
again, and everybody was explicitly asked *not* to revert him (except, 
of course, whenever he posts rubbish).

I don't know how the arbitration went, and I have no interest in looking 
at it to find out, but clearly your initial request for arbitration 
against Guanaco, who did was Jimbo *did* ask us to do, was pointless. 
And I'm saying that solely from the contents of your e-mail; I haven't 
checked (and can't be bothered to check) whether it really was Guanaco 
who unbanned him, and when, and anything else.
