Stealing less than shevei perutah *is* geneivah.   It's not repayable,
which makes it *worse* than stealing a greater amount and then returning
it.  That alone should be enough to distinguish it from something that
isn't geneivah at all, even if it would undermine the site for everyone
to do it.

Zev Sero               All around myself I will wave the green willow
zev at sero.name          The myrtle and the palm and the citron for a week
                And if anyone should ask me the reason why I'm doing that
                I'll say "It's a Jewish thing; if you have a few minutes
                I'll explain it to you".
