Rahasya,

Might I add that she had a history of plagiarizing? I had occasionally stumbled upon her status messages which were uncited quotes of Twain, Benjamin Franklin, Oscar Wilde etc. And I did correct her once about 'citing' them. That perhaps irked her and she then perhaps made up her mind to delete me off her friend's list sooner or later.

Also, it also depends upon how an individual analyzes such an act. If I were her, I'd always fear being caught red-handed, but that is because I am more conscientious. Some people are just not made that way, also ignorance plays a great part. I did the math, I barely had 100 friends in my facebook account back then, and we both had more more than 10 common friends. And given the fact that my stories in facebook never really creatred a furor, she was inclined to believe that her plagiarization would perhaps goes unnoticed.

The damage is done and she will never meet me. Even if we run into each other, she knows it very well that her warm hello will not be reciprocated by an acerbic remark from me.
