But below you show you know I am right:

> It was *you* with the recipe/pdf thing.

I spoke of downloading a single recipe or lesson plan or the like.

* From a single online recipe (or art project, lesson plan, whatever) save
it and email a PDF version where you add notes to it. Now I know this can be
done on Linux; save, open, edit, email. Just curious to see how you people
would generally do it and how streamlined the workflow would be. A couple
ways I might: <https://youtu.be/NPM_WldEBs0>.

> I just expanded on it.

You created a new task about downloading a bunch of such files:

* Download as PDFs all the recipes from the homepage of allrecipes.com (Owl
is the one who suggested this). I did several versions... here is one:
<https://youtu.be/_J4PppWroWY>. Mine not only worked, but the PDF had
selectable text and allowed me to do quick searches on ingredients and the
like... something Owl was never able to do on Linux. Worked so well that he
and Peter Köhlmann insisted it must have been faked.

See: you jump to accusations no matter how absurd they are - in this case
you just admitted I was right about you going with the task to automate the
downloading of a bunch of recipes from allrecipes.com.

My task was more general - about easily converting any file you download to
a PDF... and having categories such as recipes, art projects, lesson plans,
receipts, etc.

Your task was inspired by mine. But it still was your task.

Above you directly admit you "expanded" on my single file task to come up
with a task involving multiple files and greater automation.

Hint: if you want to claim I am lying then stop agreeing I am correct. :)
