Okay, good.  Then we are in agreement.

I believe it doesn't matter whether we sign individual
copies or whether we all sign a single copy.

I figured if we are going to add Lars's name, it'll be
easier if we all sign the same copy.  It would also save you
the trouble of printing your copy. :-)

Lars and I have already signed a copy, so I can easily send
it to you if that is okay.  Otherwise, maybe we should wait
for Richard to add Lars's name so that we don't sign subtly
different versions of the contract (which may or may not be
a problem --- I don't know).
