Yes.  No.  Mu.  What do you mean, "count"?

S. Gabriel text is like any documentation you get out of some random
book or Web site.  Whatever they said, you have to summarize the text
on the submission form, and despite what even some kingdom submissions
heralds think, "S. Gabriel report #1234" is not a summary.  You have
to attach one copy of the text to each copy of the submission form, as
with most any other documentation.  If you make copies of the Webbed
version of a S. Gabriel report, you do it like any other random Web
page: the URL has to be on each page, and "title page" information
must be included.  And the information that they present will be
evaluated and weighed against information from elsewhere -- if someone
finds information that looks more plausible than what S. Gabriel said,
then the S. Gabriel information will be discounted.

(OK, I've been using "random" to skip over one detail.  Appendix H is
"Name Books That Do Not Require Photocopies to Laurel".  If the source
is on there, you don't have to include the photocopies.  BUT
S. Gabriel IS NOT on that list.  It has to be treated like
http://twinkycats.com/, the Name Your Carpathian Cat site.)

(Furthermore: regardless of whether something is on the no-photocopy
list, you always have to summarize it on the submission form enough to
where anyone reading the summary with access to the source can find
what you're talking about.)
