Mr. Hofsess advertised the material on plastic bags to be also
available on-line, via Adobe software.  You would be given a password
in order to access the files.  So he was offering instructions
on-line.  As to your other statements, it was Mr. Hofsess who stated
that he did not have any mention of plastic bags on his web site.  I
have never stated that I have never mentioend plastic bags.

 You're wrong again!
