Hannity's congradulating the Freepers!
Brief Partial Summary of the Forgery Elements of the CBS (?Boston Globe) Faked letter
Made by FReepers
=================================================
1-- proportional spacing did not exist
2 -- superscripts did not exist
3 - "th" single element did not exist
4 - Smart quotes. Curved apostrophes and quotation marks were not available
5-The blurriness of the copy indicates it was recopied dozens of times, tactic of forgers
6--Signature block. Typical authentic military signature block has name, then rank, then on the next line the person's position. This just has rank beneath the name. 7--Margins. These look like a computer's unjustified default, not the way a person typing would have done it.
8 -- Date usually with three letters
9 - words run over consistent with word processor
10 - Times Roman font did not exist then (per Haas Atlas)
11 - signature looks faked
In reference to flashing post 216. I don't remember where I saw it, but one of these bloggers was doing something similar to what you were doing and noticed the discrepencies in the 'th'. He was thinking that this might have been a 'special key stroke' on the typewriters and made him worry about the authenticity of his claims, despite the otherwise perfect fit. He was then told by a reader, or figured it out himself - forget which, that when the document is printed the differences go away. In other words, the screen represents the font differently then when it is printed - due to configuration errors or font settings. If this can be duplicated then it will only increase the certainty of these fakes. I wish I had the link to this blogger, but can't remember where it was.
