I'm confused, as this post does not appear to be a good faith attempt to start a conversation.  For newer members who want to engage in discussions and learn about which researchers are "researchers" and which researchers are actually developing good information about the possibility of Bigfoot existing, here are a couple of options.   1)  Check out the Bigfoot Forums library.  While its a work in process (due to both the volume of information out there and the need to respect others' intellectual property), there is information that researchers have compiled.  That can give you a lead on different things to research further.   2) Use the search function to look for information on a specific researcher.  If you're looking for a specific researcher (or phrase), make sure you use quotation marks "around the phrase" or you may get overwhelmed.  For example, searching for Todd Standing retrieves over 450 pages of results, many of which will include a line like "I saw Bigfoot standing behind a tree."  You can pare your initial list down further by repeating the search in content titles only.  This shows that there have been 13 threads on Todd Standing, many of which provide very good details to support why Todd Standing's reputation in some parts of the Bigfoot community is rather low.     Even if a question has been asked and answered many times here, I'm fairly confident that all of the old hands welcome actual inquiries from people interested about learning about the topic.  However, I don't think there's much patience for Reddit-like incoherent babble.

@norseman Cool. I'm down in that country (north of the border) for the first time in my life this week - the last part of BC I haven't spent time in. A few days of work in Cranbrook and Fernie, about 100 miles north of Kalispell. Man, it is beautiful down here.

Meldrum? Clown? Please elaborate.
