So AntiOnline claims the "fingerprint" of the HFG and ULG images are
identical.  I'd personally like to see how his "fingerprint" system
arrived at this startling conclusion, given that a cursory review of
the contents of the images clearly indicates that the images were
created on totally disparate systems.

For one thing, the ULG images clearly indicate they were created using
Photoshop v5.0 on a Hewlett Packard PC.  The HFG images show that they 
were created using Photoshop v4.0.  Additionally, the ULG images show
an embedded URL among the graphic declarations.  The HFG images contain
no such URL.

All of this was done with a few simple UNIX-based tools and about five
minutes of time.  Hardly a bleeding-edge technological solution, but
one that proves far more accurate than AntiOnline's smoke-and-mirror
parlor tricks.

utility 'strings'. Only relevant portions are included here.
