Kelly-

I'm curious, don't you ever have any problems with the plastic hanger
bending over time?  When I was in graduate school one of my professors (a
museum director) was telling about his experience with plastic hangers and
them bending over time until they broke or were so bent they wouldn't remain
on the rod.
Have you ever had this experience?
