"Maybe we need a thread on debunking all the forgery theories here. The ones that stand up to intense scrutiny should fall out and be the ones that we use. Frankly some of the threads have gotten ridiculous."
Sorry. I don't have a month. FR is great, but some threads are just insane. It would be nice, but it would deteriorate into nonsense. Just above here is a message saying that they should carbon-date the paper on the original, as though there isn't lots of paper from 1972 sitting around. I could get some in five minutes from my notes from that year. Silliness.

Yes you could get some paper from 1972 and you could probably get a typewriter from then too, but whoever manufactured these docs didn't get the typewriter so who would think they would bother to get the paper? silliness indeed...
Anyway, I recall reading somewhere (Michener's The Source?) that carbon dating is approximate within 1000s of years, not 30 years.
