Jelberg: Wow! I actually had to look at that a minute to see that it was two different examples. The handwriting is almost dead on.
AK Wilks: Interesting and I think spot on observations by Jelberg and Claypooles (and his wife). Many intriguing similarities if you look at specifics. For example look at the Zodiac checkmark "r" at the end of "cheer" and compare it to the Kaczynski checkmark "r" at the beginning of "received". Compare also the three stroke K's, the high "I", the low crosses on some t's and quite a few others.
The overall effect, as you three noted, is that they're virtually indistinguishable. Also know as well, the unusual spacing in both letters. There is quite a bit of spacing between the words, much more than usual, and that is done both by Zodiac and Kaczynski. See also the very unusual spacing noted by Jelberg in the other topic thread in this section, that both Zodiac and Kaczynski seem to share.
Jelberg - I changed the titles on both of your threads, because I don't know what "1 bag" meant, and gave them titles that might be more inviting and more likely to get other members with only a moderate or even little interest in TK to look at your work. I did this because I think your discoveries and observations in both threads are very interesting and should be seen by as many people as possible.
