Hmm.

Is it cruel to trawl general answer-providing websites looking for obvious cut-n-pasted poetry/prose homework questions with no effort put into any solution prior to dumping it on the site, and post in response beautifully crafted tracts which fulfil the original requirements - but which when decoded by an English teacher translate to "I asked the internet to do my homework and am about to be punked for it"?

And then do little dances when the answers are chosen as the best response just before the poster runs off to present them as their own work?

Wanton cruelty, or teaching a valuable life lesson?
