The Bad Guy will get it in a day anyway, or maybe even already has it.

On the other hand the Good Guys have a problem in defense because they 
didn't happen to get it via email yet.

How is you making it available, or SOMEONE ELSE for that matter, a Bad 
Thing?

Again, it is on the board in plain sight, you just make sure people can 
get it and not have to pass the Krondor's Mockers Bashers (thief's guild 
bullies) on the way.
