The main feature that became apparent in this survey of preprint styles was that most authors were very lazy: they most often sent out preprints in the identical format that was used to submit the paper to the journal (∼ 60 %), and if they made a change at all, it was to single space the text and perhaps remove some page breaks to conserve paper. Thus, if the only change an author need make to produce a nice preprint is to include aaspp.sty instead of aasms.sty at the top of their paper, they will do it; but anything much more complex is likely not to be used.
