New Post: "I Do Listen to the Experts. Do YOU?"

[Mark Knowles]

1) You've assumed, on your own, that I was claiming to have found the relationship and orientation of the individual words to be the same distance as the originals. It never occurred to me that this would assumed, or that anyone would think it necessary that this be the case to realize these seem to be perfect tracings. No, the individual words are not the original spacing from each other... if these were traced, the words were copied separately, with small differences.

No, I have detailed some of the differences that should be visible in the overlays, distance between individual letters not words, letters should be different too in these areas, not "perfect tracings" as you claim. Your "overlays" are well visible (lighter areas) and they are not overlays. The light background matches the 19 August letter but the ink does not.

This is all nonsense. If one looks at the images it is quite clear that they are not overlays. Yes, there is some degree of similarity, but that is certainly to be expected. I think this is indicative of Rich's whole approach of seeing things that just aren't there.

Rich is a sweet man, but I fear he is out of his depth with this one.
