David:

I recognize the fact that you cannot put forward an argument without
resorting to infantile profanity.  But regardless, I am talking about
what Mr. Hofsess is saying on his web site.  Not what is in the
newspaper articles.  The quote I gave from Mr. Hofsess, with him
stating that no information on his web site is available for plastic
bags, is quite plain.  He sells a pamphlet on his web site that is an
instruction brochure on how to use a plastic bag.

Now either he makes available material on plastic bags or he does not.
Which is it?

John Hofsess states:

"There has never been any information about plastic bags on DeathNET".
(John Hofsess)

It is evident that the media got it wrong when they stated that he
actually sells plastic bags.  But Mr. Hofsess clearly DOES sell info
and instructions on the plastic bag.  That is what I said he does.

Mr. Hofsess has represented himself falsely.  You can call me a liar
all you want.  I feel your pain about being proven wrong...again.
