 Nobody can say for sure how bad this problem is. 

 On FICS, I've only had one or two times when I was suspicious--but
then I'm not as suspicious as some people, who I think are downright
paranoid about it.

 I decided not to worry about it, and the problem is not so prevalent
that it keeps making me worry about it.

 The main reason why I think it's not very common is simply that I
can't imagine what people get out of it. I'm sure it happens, sometimes,
but how many people could both care that much and be stupid enough
to think that using a computer to cheat says something about them?
