Someone got up early or stayed up late on Sunday AM, and saw the original thread. The original thread had a link to the scribd pdf which has the JPG embedded in it. They brought this up and captured the JPG so it could be seen on the thread in an IMG tag (rather than just a link to the PDF). In the process of saving the JPG they inadvertantly made it more lossy which resulted in the image you show at the top of this thread labeled "original".

Palmer, you can use my name. I was the one who posted it.

thanks, I wrote that particular post before someone pointed out that it was your JPG that caused the confusion. I found your posts about it afterwards. I’ve done some quick and dirty postings in my day figuring I was helping the cause but really caused confusion (mostly poorly researched text). If I posted more images like you and the others I would have easily done the same and posted a lossy JPG like that. I’m just sorry I didn’t read your earlier post sooner instead of speculating how it might have happened.
