Paul, maybe you can clear up a question I have about a caller I heard the other day on a talk radio show:

He said that the memos were retrieved from something like Microfische (spelling?). Old documents 30 years old have to be stored this way. He said that when these records (from the micro database) are printed out, they take on the characteristics of the medium they are printed out on ... like Microsoft Word.

I have only heard this idea proposed once. What say you?

A microfische of an authentic document wouldn't explain the discrepency between the date of the letter and the fact that the officer who was allegedly "pressuring" his underling to sugarcoat things retired 18 months previously. It also wouldn't explain the army terminology, or the improper address block, for lack of a better description.

Not to mention there is no way a microfische can explain all 60 some odd faults, or make the docs perfectly align with a Microsoft Times New Roman document.
