DAVID A. NELSON, Circuit Judge,
concurring.
I concur in the judgment and in virtually all of the opinion Judge Moore has written for the court. I write separately merely to note that after we decided EEOC v. Frank’s Nursery & Crafts, Inc., 177 F.3d 448 (6th Cir.1999), the parties entered into a settlement agreement that precluded Frank’s Nursery from seeking review of our decision;1 that the decision obviously remains binding on other panels of the court; and that I myself continue to believe that the Frank’s Nursery panel erred in holding that an employee’s agreement to arbitrate Title VII claims does not preclude the EEOC from suing for monetary relief on behalf of the employee without arbitration having been held. See Frank’s Nursery, 177 F.3d at 468-471 (Nelson, J., concurring in part and dissenting in part).
