A number of us old timers were on that thread.

Buckhead immediately spotted the font that wasn’t available years earlier. He especially noted the th that was raised and in a smaller print, e.g., 4th. The old typewriters, even the variable spaced ones, didn’t do that.

It was Buckhead who spotted it first. Immediately the media folks started combing through Buckhead’s old posts to get clues as to his identity. Almost as quickly people here removed their state designation and any other identifying information on our FR home page.

Those were the days - when we were a bit naive about the power and permanency of the internet.
