I don't think this is a secret. I don't know if the person just wanted to be anonymous to everyone but me or clicked the wrong button. It was received from the 'Report this message' link which would normally be used by someone wanting to report 'abuse', vulgarity, etc. in a post.
Ummm -- second edition draft is out - it came 'around' last spring and is dated 29 March 2001.
Unfortunately, a few years back things were a bit 'looser' here copyright wise. Both the ISO folks and the AIAG were not happy puppy dogs when they came to visit (or someone reported the postings, which is most likely) - most standards were, at one time, posted here (I used to have them posted in the old pdf_files directory) - and both the ISO folks and the AIAG let me know about their displeasure in no uncertain terms. Alas, the internet is changing and the Cove Forums are now well known. This said, I am in no position to open the site to a possible lawsuit.
Maybe someone will be nice and and e-mail you a copy...
