I asked for the _current_ draft and got told it would be on the site
shortly.  Mike responded saying he had put it on the site.  I was
curious about the timestamp in the metadata, I got told this was the
draft sent for review.  That all sounds true, but I’m still miffed we
didn’t just get to see the current draft in the first place (assuming
the one posted is current and doesn’t contain random clauses about
Richard F owning all your first born, etc; I haven’t read it yet).

Simon, not sure why you’d want my first born…
