I think that would depend on how you define re-writes Tom. They felt like re-writes and stuff changed.
I Incorporated a lot of people's suggestions and tried to find consensus.
I listened a lot and acted.
You are being unfair.

It didn't go through any rewrites. You just made a few tweaks around the edges between your drafts. You didn't address any of the fundamental problems. Dismissing those problems as being attempts for "perfection" confirms what I suspected at the time - you just weren't listening.
