It's not like Foley is typing well anyway.. I mean he spelled "that" "taht". It's certainly possible to type extremely quickly on AIM and have the server "lag" (or overload) where messages are submitted in bulk at the same time rather than when they were actually typed. But that's just speculation on my part.

I tried just now to recreate that exchange on AIM and couldn't get it down to the same second. I got 2 second gaps twice and a one-second game once.

But...

Did you type 2 words before pressing enter and then type 4 words before pressing enter again?

Or did you use single words or two words each time?

This is important stuff. Important distinctions. Any recreation has to be similar to the original.

I'm not saying Foley isn't guilty, but he's probably not guilty guilty.
