PATCHWORK GIRL: This book has no plot. It is an unconventional meditation on the nature of identity that consists of fragments of the Manchester Guardian, as randomly selected by a chimpanzee, with the aid of a fairly bright goat.
BTW, this information might be incorrect. My memory isn't what it used to be.

But if this person started e-mailing or IMing you incessantly, you'd have good cause to be a dick. Your analogy doesn't work. A better analogy is being in the same room as someone else's child asking for candy. Which rarely warrants berating the child.
Way I figure it, if Bed manages to pass his/her exam with outside help, it doesn't hurt me. It doesn't hurt you. It doesn't hurt SRH. Is anyone going to claim they went through school and university without cutting corners?

Perhaps the OP has done the work required, which is why I wished that the grades reflect the work done, rather than flat-out consigning the person to McJob Hell for all eternity.
I sincerely wish the person the success their efforts deserve.

It hurts me if people start getting through university without doing the necessary work. It devalues my own education. I didn't cut any corners, and my grades reflect that.Haha, Bed is the first person to consider not reading the assigned material in the history of higher education. Christ - it's not even that he/she is looking to plagiarize a term paper.
It doesn't devalue your education. How many lit majors graduate every year? A half-million? Quarter-million? It doesn't hurt you, it doesn't hurt me, it doesn't hurt anyone.
