Every time I want to have my mind blown, I re-read this thread.

Forgot that Manalli had that infamous candy cane F too like Z and the desktop writer

Yeah. That makes a point though about how many people share similar commonalities. It’s also an interpretation thing as well it would seem on our part. Maybe it’s because I’ve spent sooooo long looking at handwriting but when I look at Manalli’s writing now I immediately see differences, Even in the f’s. You’re seeing them as candy cane f’s which I don’t. Also – look at the cross bar. Manalli’s are central and Zodiac’s are offset to the right. There’s also the 3

Don’t get me wrong. There’s still some ‘above average’ interesting things in Manalli’s writing and even though I now doubt they qualify him as Zodiac they are good to have and to have found them. They may still prove useful in some way. Already has for me.

I think Z whomever he was, definitely used a candy cane F, so we can rule out People that do not,I don’t for one But I do use a 3 stroke K

Yes I would say more likely that we could and yes, his candy cane is and seems to be a given habit.

But I do use a 3 stroke K

Which is why we haven’t officially cleared you yet.

Just as important to me regarding Manalli & handwriting, is the subject matter of his writing.
See my post#2 of this thread- http://zodiackillersite.com/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=15

Manalli & Z, both shared the same uses of words, phrases,subjects they wrote about,etc. It simply is amazing to me how much stuff is shared in both Zodiac’s and Manalli’s writing.

Both used the word saterical/satirical, both used the phrase "hang by their thumbs/hang by your thumbs" Both were overly fond of the word, SHALL. When Manalli had a story published called ‘Paradise, it’s a nice place‘, Z decided to use the word Paradise. The list just goes on and on.

Oh there’s no doubt Manalli provided a huge amount information and if nothing else some of the most sophisticated & concentrated zync I’ve ever encountered. If I do say so myself lol. I may no longer be as impressed with the handwriting as I was years ago but even that in itself provided benchmark against how impressed I’m prepared to get these days lol.

It wasn’t just that though. The areas that we explored based off Manalli might still provide a marker for how we look at Zodiac.

"Hang by your thumbs". As Fred might say.

Just one of the many interesting little crumbs to nibble at- Zodiac’s letter K vs Fred’s

The biggest difference I’ve noticed between the handwriting samples are that Z leans to the right and Fred to the left (which apparently means he’s socially withdrawn). Aside from that, I can see why so many see him as such a great POI, such as the "unblock myself" phrase and his k’s and h’s.

I’ve yet to see any POI with a low slanted D like Z does it. That would be the strongest writing match for me personally.

Thanks for the input. I am glad to see new Members looking thru this lengthy thread on an interesting Suspect
