Amazing how that unfolded in real time. Anyone who has participated in a live thread knows the spontaneity of the comments and the collective acumen of FReepers. Rather didn't stand a chance with his fabrication.
I was here then but it’s great to revisit those days. I remember seeing a post here the morning after the 60 Minutes show. I decided to try the experiment myself so I printed out one of the CBS fabrications then retyped it in Microsoft Word. I don’t have a copier so I went to the Post Office and recopied the thing about six times until it matched the CBS memo. At lunch I passed around the two “documents” at a table with about six guys I know. They were flabbergasted.
