This is not the way FR is supposed to be. I remember well a long thread about typewriter balls from the old IBM Selectric that ended up catching Dan Rather in a false story. That was not speculation. That was FR at its fines: fact checking by FReepers that had expertise.
I never would have imagined there was so much to know about the typewriter balls on an IBM Selectric.
Buckhead!
Not to be confused with the infamous memo on IBM Mouse Balls
