Credit where it is due,Howlin's thread,Buckheads post.

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.

HEY HEY HO HO, DAN RATHER'S GOT TO GO!
Sweet...
As a newbie, let me just say that I am deeply humbled to have been a witness to history...this has truly been a historic day for the blogsphere.
Don't be embarrassed, you guys are heroes!!!! Didn't I always tell you that you are my hero? See, I was right all along! LOL
Huzzaaaah to the FR Heroes!
Now THAT is way cool!
That's awesome!
I like it.
Bwahaha!!!
Too bad we don't have medals and awards.
We could have an Honor page.
You are J
LOL! I heard this on the radio today and I wondered if some freeper had discovered the deception! Ha!
And I expressed my caution last night, I hope you've seen I've given you extended kudos here and on other threads for your persistence in these regards. I actually work in the field but didn't first take the time to think about what folks were starting to see. Once I looked it was obvious :)
I never cease to be amazed at the depth of knowledge to be found on FR.
Congratulations to all on the "bust" of Blather.
Just sent this e-mail to CBS:
Either your station has been had, or you are insidious liars using forged documents in your attempt to smear George Bush. Which is it? Are you suckers and fools, or are you so biased (which is so obvious) that you will run with anything at all as long as it smears President Bush? Get your fonts right, oh, excuse me, your facts right, CBS. Aren't you delighted that Dan Rather talked you into going with these documents in his eagerness to continue his venom towards the Republican party and his love affair with the Democratic Party?
You, CBS, are unscrupulous MSM whores. You sincerely make me sick. Have a nice day tomorrow retracting all your lies. Sincerely, a Midwesterner who still believes in honesty and values, something you know nothing about.
FREE REPUBLIC: "ALL THE NEWS THAT'S FIT TO POST"
I saw, and I responded to you that you were right that we not lose our direction.
I still agree with that; and I think the White House should just be quiet about this now.
Especially ME,who has been Howlin's dear friend and compatriot on ALL the LIVE THREADS;not to mention our early GUILD days together,when we unearthed the things that the Clintons stole and "asked" to be given. :-)
