Hmm, I wonder how many frats at Tulane read the message board.....

Maybe you could cut the new guy some slack and be helpful rather than scornful towards him.

  OK even IF it were ethical (and that if is bigger than the posterior 
  of the average qb'er) the fact that you posted this to the entire qb 
  community means that anyone who would have come to your tournament 
  can now just read the Stanford Archive and do well.  So it doesn't 
  even matter if this is ethical, this is now just STUPID because you 
  have encouraged memorization bowl.  Frauds rejoice!

  Oh by the way, so you want to make a $$ on something that is public 
  domain, but you still want to credit the author?  Do you plan on 
  compensating the author?
