Sorry all, it definitely would. For a middle length proposal, that could take well upwards of a minute to find and double check (and do also remember how many proposals I’ve got to process in a week). In any case, it’s enough work that it is definitely not in the category of being sufficiently easy that we’d let it be substituted. -Aris
