Not quite right. The drafts ARE preserved. Just sned a note to the Secretariat, asking for a specific one, and they can produce it. The problem is that this is inefficient at its base, as well as preventing searching.

Your comments about mailing lists archives are on-target.

Richard's comments about patent examiners appears to be correct, but we can't do anything about that.

However we CAN make prior art researching MUCH easier for our little piece of the world.
