So did the original, which I saved when the monster thread first broke out. This doesn't make sense.
No, I too saved the first image I saw, and it has K F LAvender and 47,644. Later images have E.F. Lavender and 47,066, even Jim Robinson’s thread on the soap has the faked image with EF Lavender!
I saved the image to my computer at 9:58:39 a.m. CDT on 8/02/09. It clearly says E. F. Lavender and 47044.
I just happened to be up really late on Saturday night and was one of the first at FR to see the breaking story. My first post on the big thread is #44.
One of the very first things I did, was copy the image for my own safe-keeping. The time stamp of when I copied it to my computer is: Sunday, August 02, 2009, 6:47:18 AM.
The URL where it was posted at the time read:
http://www.scribd.com/doc/18018712/03118509264
The title of that page at the time was:
Filing Doc 03118509264
These have since been changed to:
http://www.scribd.com/doc/18018714/Fake-Obama-Kenya-birth-certificate
and,
Fake Obama birth certificate
What's important about this, is that I just took a close look at the copy in my computer (which I saved before the website URL and title changes), and son of a gun, if it doesn't clearly show serial number 47644, and K.F. Lavender.
