Gumshoeeye, Is providing laundry lists of supposed encounters really helpful? If these headlines were ripped from the front page of the National Enquirer (e.g., Susan Sarandon: Bigfoot Was Stalking My Child!!" MI), it should pretty much be dismissed out of hand. It's not just the quantity of reports, quality is worth evaluating as well.

Howl as you may, the science establishment has spoken on what they consider proof. There is a line drawn in the sand. The way I see it is we can all belly ache about the unfairness of the line OR strive to achieve it. Which is more productive?

I had about five face-to-palm moments reading the recent posts. Can anyone really, REALLY refute the observation that you are very ulikely to find proof of something (even something inert and stationary) if you aren't looking for it, AND you don't believe it even exists to begin with? I mean...what is there about this point-beyond-elementary that gets so much denial around here? And Crow, we are all likely to be dead before some kind of proof lands in our inboxes. To which I offer a great "So what?" Wish the world operated on my personal timetable too. Crap, oh well.

I'm betting old school...... Rifle and a horse.
