This really bothers me. I don't mind various people telling him that its
illegal, but "wrong". How do you figure. It it weren't for him, I'd
never have been able to see the rules. So for purely historical value
I'd say that he's done me a great service. The damn things been out of
print for over 5 years, I'm sure as hell not going to pay 50-100$ just
to browse the rules. As far as I'm concerned, he should keep posting it
until GW says something, then email it to me and I'll post it.

Again, if anyone else wants to do the same thing, I'd be happy
(hint-Rogue Traders)

As I don't play in tournaments, JJ's inconsistent answers are useless.
