Not much thought, though I appreciate the fact you were not too bored. Allot of what happens hear is not relevant to the real matter. I pretty much gave up trying to prove to anyone anything. I just am stating very documented facts, if you actually can believe Patty was a hoax, then I surely would like to talk to you concerning a nice piece of wetland I have for sale. I do not say that to insult anyone, but if you actually examine the film, the track way, and that facts surrounding the Patterson Gimlin film, honestly that is, I think you will come to the same conclusion. The standard hoax theory is not only not plausible, when taking the whole into account, it is ludicrous. The film can be tossed into the garbage but the track way alone proves what walked that sand bar that day, and no human could have faked, or produced those tracks, much less in some hitherto unknown suit fabrication that would rival anything but CG today. And sorry I am a bit passionate about my opinion on that matter, and I do realize ilk is spelled ilk, not elk. Maybe that is subliminal to the supposed elk butt that stole some apples from a muddy barrow somewhere else down the road. Really, it takes some real bias to not one sit up and take notice to the reality of the foot print evidence, which alone proves this creature exists, no film or body is needed.
Again my statement here is simple, it does exist because something would naturally fill the role of hunter and gatherer that we have vacated, something of similar intelligence.
