I had a West Point classmate who retired to Hawaii personally go down to the DOH and speak to the clerks. This is what he wrote me back:

You so happens to have some "West Point" buddy of yours go down to DoH where they explained to him how it was done?? We can all go home now because Wiggs here has conveniently filled in the inexplicably gaps. Pfffft. However, we cannot get coherent answers from either Fukino or Okubo with all the hundreds if not thousands of correspondences they have received over the last two years where they could have just as easily informed the world. You're definitely a ringer.

"You so happens to have some "West Point" buddy of yours go down to DoH where they explained to him how it was done??"

Astounding how that works, isn't it? How many months did Birthers cry, "Where are the Nordyke birth announcements?" Finally, somebody got off their butts and went and looked for them. And gosh... they actually found them. What an astounding concept.

So yes... I called my classmate who retired in Hauula and asked him to actually go ask somebody how this was done. Not writing emails to an overworked PR person who can recognize a vexatious requester at 300 meters, has already been attacked for just doing her job by Birthers in 20 states, and who has never pushed a piece of paper in her life. Actually going there and talking to somebody who has done the job!!

It's a stunning innovation in research methodology; asking somebody who actually knows. I'm glad we've got West Point to train people to actually do stuff rather than sit around and speculate.

It's amazing.... NOT!
