The tide has turned, and the people now have the power over the propagandists:
Howlin, every single one of these memos to file is in a proportionally spaced font, probably Palatino or Times New Roman.In 1972 people used typewriters for this sort of thing, and typewriters used monospaced fonts.
The use of proportionally spaced fonts did not come into common use for office memos until the introduction of laser printers, word processing software, and personal computers. They were not widespread until the mid to late 90's. Before then, you needed typesetting equipment, and that wasn't used for personal memos to file. Even the Wang systems that were dominant in the mid 80's used monospaced fonts.
I am saying these documents are forgeries, run through a copier for 15 generations to make them look old.
This should be pursued aggressively.
I'd like to see it for mine own eyes...
Thanks in advance

They should have used one of those mimeograph machines, that would have looked authentic.
Good work done!

Howlin was the poster he/she was responding to.
The "poster of the year" was Buckhead.
I quoted the last part of Buckead's post and the posting information on post #16
I dug out my old DD214 (circa 1988) and sure enough...
