My concurrence in In re Disciplinary Proceedings Against Konnor, 2005 WI 37, 279 Wis. 2d 284, 694 N.W.2d 376, provides context and perspective regarding costs in disciplinary proceedings and also stands as a concurrence in the present case. See also In re Disciplinary Proceedings Against Polich, 2005 WI 36, 279 Wis. 2d 266, 694 N.W.2d 367 (Abrahamson, C.J., concurring).
