Nothing said in its submission to me suggested that it "reads" the TML -
but neither does it suggest not. Certainly, it does claim to "read"
Freelance Traveller, and based on Brett's comment, Cepheus Journal as well,
so its reading the TML isn't an unreasonable hypothesis - but not proven
either way.

I would not like to see the traffic here drop even further than it has from
previous years simply because a LLM might be getting trained on it.
