Feel free to start one or someone else is likely to do it. After all lynching gets good drama ;).

Who ever the admin is violated our copyright policies at the very least as I am sure he did not give the original contributor credit (that is assuming that the original contributor even has the right to post that).

"John Soong, 18, says that after he had failed to get jobs at
several
chains that use the test, he began to poke around for an answer key, driven by "altruistic, and maybe vengeful," motives. In a discussion section of a Wikipedia entry, he saw a mention of a set of Unicru statements and answers that had been posted there but removed. Using privileges as a volunteer Wikipedia administrator, which gave him access to deleted page histories, Mr. Soong, a University of
Virginia
student, was able to recover the answer key and re-post it on Facebook."
