     1        of the fact sheet."  Whether that bit is quite right or not
     2        does not matter, what is important is that there is a plain
     3        statement there that the site contains the London
     4        Greenpeace fact sheet, is there not, and that is right, it
     5        does, does it not?
     6        A.  Yes, I have never said that it does not.  All I have
     7        said is that I did not know that it contained the London
     8        Greenpeace fact sheet until you brought it up in court.
     9        Can I just say, what Mr. Morris says is correct about the
    10        E-mail.  That was sent from Albert Beale dated 10th
    11        February 1996, and the printout of the fact sheet is dated
    12        16th February 1996, so it cannot have been sent with the
    13        E-mail.
    14
    15   Q.   I am not suggesting it was, Miss Steel.  What I am
    16        suggesting is--
    17
    18   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I don't think that is -- I can see there are
    19        different dates throughout?
    20        A.  This looks like something that has been printed out
    21        from the computer, which is very different to an E-mail.
    22
    23   Q.   Well, I do not know.  If need be people can explain to me,
    24        but the copy of the fact sheet with the time and date at
    25        the bottom has the same, whatever it is called, keying in
    26        code, to begin with anyway, as is given near the beginning
    27        of the press release, "http: \\"?
    28        A.  That is just the thing you type in if you want to go
    29        through any site on the Internet, you type in that thing.
    30
    31   Q.   Yes.  Then it is followed by Mcspotlight?
    32        A.  Yes.  But Albert Beale is nothing to do with
    33        Mcspotlight.
    34
    35   MR. RAMPTON:  No, he is an old member of London Greenpeace is he
    36        not?
    37        A.  Yes, and I dare say that he heard about Mcspotlight and
    38        thought he would pass on the information about Mcspotlight
    39        to other campaigners around the world.
    40
    41   Q.   Miss Steel, I will be perfectly blunt and then I will go on
    42        to something else.  You and Mr. Morris knew perfectly well
    43        all along, because it was what you had intended, that a
    44        copy of that fact sheet should be put on to that web site
    45        as soon as it had been launched?
    46        A.  I did not know that the fact sheet was on the site at
    47        the time we launched it, and I did not know about it until
    48        you brought it up in court.
    49
    50   Q.   Right.  Now, we can move on to Mr. Preston's -- actually,
    51        one question before I do that.  You said yesterday in
    52        court, when you and I were discussing how you convert the
    53        fact sheet 6-sider into a 3-sider, how you did the copying
    54        and you said, "Well, it is a bit of a palava, I did it for
    55        this case."  Why did you do it for this case?
    56        A.  Because I had to give it to various people who were
    57        giving us legal advice over the course of 3 or 4 years.
    58
    59   Q.   The documents in here, which I would like you to look at,
    60        are at appendix 3.  First of all, I am not going to spend a
