I write briefly to point out that I did not join the majority opinion in Old Republic Insurance Co. v. Lanier, 644 So.2d 1258
(Ala. 1994). I wrote specially in that case to express my belief that in the context of arbitration agreements the narrow interpretation of the phrase "arising out of" that the majority adopted in Lanier was inconsistent with the express federal policy in favor of arbitration. See Lanier, 644 So.2d 1263-65 (Maddox, J., concurring in *Page 387 
the result in part and dissenting in part). I continue to hold that belief.
