Yet what 'Lori Starfelt' posted on texasdarlin DID NOTHING toward the PUMA cause. All THAT did was establish the MYTH that the announcements were published as a result of a LIST - which gave legitimacy to the announcements SENT TO HER BY E-MAIL from Hawaii.
And after that, the LIE went around the world, into the head of Bill O'Reilly and out his mouth!
READ WHAT SHE WROTE:
...What you know is that Texas Darlin has received an email forwarded from the Hawaii State Library that is a a clipping from the Honolulu Advertisers Sunday August 13th, 1961 edition that proves the Department of Vital Records provided a list of births for the previous week that included Barack Obama thats what you know.
Youre not taking my word for it. Youre taking TDs word for it. I have given her the name and number of the librarian I spoke with and she has the forwarded email. You, yourself, are free to call either Vital Records or the Honolulu Advertiser and ask questions about how birth certificates and birth announcements were handled in 1961...
NOW TELL ME - IS THE ABOVE TRUE OR NOT? WERE THE ANNOUNCEMENTS PUBLISHED AS THE RESULT OF A LIST?
Just to see if it were possible that all births for the year were published in newspapers, I divided 16,000 by 365 days and got a number between 43 and 44.
How does that compare to a day’s published announcements in any of the examples you’ve seen? Do any of them have a list that is that long or longer?
Wish I knew, Fred! As far as I recall, I’ve not ever seen the name “Lori Starfelt” before today, so am just kind of standing here in the rain wondering what it’s all about. Was she the origin of the Barry-birth newspaper announcements?
I remember there was a Texas Darlin’ blog that just disappeared quite some time ago; I had visited there occasionally, and printed out some articles by a commentor named Dr. Kate, who was pretty sharp as I recall. Anything printed from that site is in a box here, somewhere. 2008 [?] time frame gives me a vague idea where to start, but there are about 35 printer paper boxes of articles and blog postings/comments from 2004 and forward to today. *sigh*
Glad to be of whatever help I can be, though!
Do you suppose Lori Starfelt IS Bill O’Reilly? :)

SEEMS TO ESCAPE FREEPERS TOTALLY! THE MYTH SERVED TO ESTABLISH THE ANNOUNCEMENTS AS VALID!
And after that, the LIE went around the world, into the head of Bill O'Reilly and out his mouth!
There's this, too:
"The idea that someone calling themselves Lori Starfelt might have signed up at texasdarlin TO START THE MYTH that birth announcements were published from a list - seems to have been overlooked."

Thanks, Fred Nerks. Either it is posted on the board, - or someone frmail me that Lori Starfelt had died of cancer in March of this year. However, it was not documented information. We need verification.
