Looking for old tests

Every semester there are some students who look for old tests for a given 
class or professor, either to enhance their learning (Pollyanna view) or to
memorize mindlessly to get an undeservedly higher grade (cynical view).

Today a student posted the following to a local news group:

|>  If anyone has old tests for [course number] I'm willing to take them
|> of your hands.  In particular I'm looking for tests from Mr. [instructor's
|> first name].  I've got a range of old tests myself if anyone wants to trade.
|>
|> [lists courses and professors]
|> 
|> Please respond to [student's e-mail address].
|> 

The instructor posted the following reply:

|> I  have quite a few of the old tests.  You should be advised that oft times
|> the questions stay the same, but the answers are changed.
|> Plus some faculty actually read news groups.
|> See ya.
