Its not that you aren't welcome its that you got off on the wrong foot and I truly hope none of the strong opinions on this thread turn students away from this wonderful resource just because they feel like they will draw heat for making a mistake.

Agreed. I feel sorry for the poster, who is now being scrutinized by, to quote another post I saw earlier

We don't know what they were thinking, it is entirely possible there was no ill intent behind the post, and just something someone found and wanted to share with the community. Consider this: if they really wanted to get an advantage, why would they even post it rather than keeping it to themselves?

This thread wasn't even originally about the poster/leak themselves, it was about the removal of the posts by the moderators. I don't understand exactly how this became a trial by jury. I think it's in everyone's best interest to forget this, let the mods handle it, and enjoy our few remaining days until Kickoff.

EDIT: I was informed that the leak was posted to social media as well, where it could really spread like wildfire, as opposed to somewhere like CD where everyone has access and is able to discuss things. My opinion has definitely changed a bit...
