>In a sense, it was an act of war.

Peter, it was not an "act of war". That is a ridiculous thing to say. She felt bullied, so she did something dishonest and PETTY! It would be nice to say that we are all professionals here, and all being in the IT trade we know what is right and what is wrong technologically, and this was wrong. There is no excuses or gray area... It is black and white WRONG!
