    Please clarify for me what you mean by "mediated." I've noticed this has
    become a very popular word among intellectuals in recent years. It used
    to mean "to settle differences between two parties." I don't think that's
    your meaning above, but just what sort of behavior the word "mediated"
    points to I'm not sure. Perhaps "interfere with" or "translated by?"

    Thanks.
