The attacks on the September 8 Segment began virtually immediately. One of the first came on freerepublic.com, a website:

[E]very 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.85

It'd be nice it they put the CORRECT URL in the footnotes!

Looks like you're up again, Buckhead.

Thanks for all you've gone thru, four pretty good trophies for your mantle hopefully helps.

Don't forget the (very expensive) IBM Selectric typewriters which produced a document very much like the suspect memos, but still had (I think) a hard time doing superscripts.

There were so many 'errors' in the fake docs it's a wonder they didn't burst into flames when handled!!!!
