Now I don't intend on disheartening anyone...but I thought that for us hoax believers to be taken seriously, we should also take every view point seriously and investigate possibilities in all fairness, to sift out suspicions from actual possibilities. I googled the topic of the 31 stars versus 32 stars on the California seal, as most people immediately assumed it added fact to the Hoax theory. But look at what Wikipedia had on the seal information: (there have been various versions redone of the seal through out the history of it...with minor details changed. The star count could have been one of the minor details that changed throughout history...what do you think?) Here's the article from Wikipedia:<br /><br />What Is the Great Seal?“ The Great Seal, or the Great Seal of the State of California as it is officially called, is the impression made on "all commissions, pardons and other public instruments to which the signature of the Governor is required" with the attestation of the Secretary of State; the impression, with or without "wafer," is made by a master die and counter die of an officially adopted design fixed in a seal press capable of exerting great pressure upon the document placed between the two parts of the die; it is also the impression made by the Secretary of State on papers certified over signature. For the Governor's papers the Great Seal serves the same purpose as a notarial seal on civil documents. This impression is the Great Seal. There have been many redesigns and reproductions of this seal -- they are not the Great Seal but only reproductions of it in many forms, sizes and even colors .... There has been and is only one Great Seal, there have been many redesigns and reproductions of the seal -- but there is only one Great Seal. There have been four designs and four master dies [1849, 1883, 1891, and 1937], all basically the same with variations in some minor details and in detail relations. <br />
