I wish I knew why so many people here consider it perfectly okay to hurl abuse at me, and then to abuse me further by calling me `mad' when I complain about being abused.

There were no paper originals, we're talking about the Lunar Orbiter pix taken just before Apollo. All these orbiters were then crashed into the Moon.
