Great article. Nice to know more about Buckhead. I'm honored to be a fellow Freeper of his.

An amazing historic moment that Buckhead will forever be connected to.

Did you know that the thread that I posted to that night was started by none other than Pikamax?

Most folks know that Howlin ran the research thread that had 250+ posts by 6:30 AM the next morning.

Howlin later compiled a timeline of all relevant posts on all relevant threads, and there were DOZENS of posts questioning these documents before I made my post. My contribution to the affair was to notice the fonts. I missed completely the superscript, the perfect centering, the kerning, all the violations of military protocol, the content errors, etc., etc.

I've gotten far too much credit. The medium is the message. It enabled "net centric warfare" in which dozens, then hundreds then thousands of ordinary folks combined to take this story down.

There seems to be some fascination in the press with my past conservative activities, but all that really shows is that I am a bit like Forrest Gump. I just happened to be standing there, saw something go by, and said "Hey, Look at that!" and everybody went nuts. Could have been anybody.
