Buckhead is/was a FReeper from Buckhead area of Atlanta. On the night Dan Rather reported on the Memo from the Air National Guard Unit, Buckhead noticed the font of the memo could not exist. The type writers of that era did not have that font available. Buckhead posited that this was a fake.
He was correct and Rather was shamed.
There were many other freepers noticing other discrepencies, but Buckheads’ was the greatest.
(Please correct me if I am wrong. That’s how how I remember it.)
Buckhead, being a probate lawyer, caught it immediately..another guy did too, cant remember his name though.
Long may Buckhead live!
Jet, you are 100% correct. There were others who tried to get their 15 minutes of fame by saying online that they had found it first. Time-Stamps proved all of them wrong. ;-)
It was the proportional font that gave it away. The old Selectric typewriters couldn’t do that.
