This was not the definitive thread.
Howlin started the ball rolling by first, hosting the original "live thread" on which TankerKC made his comment to the effect, "there's something funny about these docs - they don't look at all like they should if authentic - I was in a unit like this at the time - someone get a screen capture when the west coast airs this and please post so we can examine in detail". Howlin got into some banter with him, as did others, about what was happening. Robert... PE was on a different thread at the time, and made a similar comment. Very soon after the documents were posted, buckhead made the observation on the famous post #47, or whatever, that they were in proportional font, and that nailed it to really allow a specific determination that they were manufactured in the present day, and that gave the blogs something to really chew on.
However, TankerKC's initial observation was correct and there is also the proof that the style of the forgeries indicts them in itself, and Howlin and many others contributed to fleshing that out.
However there
Thanks for the clarification.
