You know, every time you make a comment to me I feel that I'm hitting close to the mark 'cause you come riding in like a Pale Rider ready to crush everything under your hooves.
You never make any comments to me otherwise.

According to you (with no attribution)...According to the Hawaii state Department of Health, the “abstracts” were first introduced in 2001 when Hawaii digitized its birth records.
Can you state where you came by this or is this your opinion? You seem to be quoting "the Hawaii state Department of Health" so I was just wondering which particular person said that.
And here is what I found which is just not the same as what you're saying...

"When the department went electronic in 2001, vital records, whether in paper form or any other form, [were] maintained. We don't destroy records."
Okubo affirmed that beginning in 2001, all vital records, including birth records, moved to electronic formats.
"Any records that we had in paper or any other form before 2001 are still in file within the department," she insisted. "We have not destroyed any vital statistics records that we have."

So you're saying, or implying, that Hawaii never produced any abstract birth certificates before 2001 and that the concept of abstract documents only came into being in Hawaii in 2001 when Hawaii digitized its birth records?

The original hard copy paper records are on file, electronic abstracts of the original paper records are what is released to the public.
