Hey. Tell you what. Let me write the preface, no matter how it comes down. How ’bout that?

I’ll do a frustrated, here-we-go-again version and a wow! this is IT! version.

Someone else will have to do the translations into Mandarin, Bahasa Malaysia and…um…pidgin Esperanto…

Ok, so I’ll pose a follow-up question to you, Loren. Will you still write the preface if the pictures aren’t clear, or do not appear to depict what we’ve been led to believe they depict?

No red herrings #11, although the Mawas may be reddish in color.

Let me ask you #13, would you write a preface to a book that is supposed to have ground-breaking photos without seeing the photographs first? “Soon” is a relative word. To me things that happened ten years ago seem like yesterday.

Loren, are you going to have an opportunity to see these photos soon? Or will you be waiting for the book’s release like the rest of us?

Well I Just want the book or books to get published and then we can all give out thoughts. MR. Coleman and Mr. Loh please keep the news coming reguardless of the impatient ones like me and others. I mean no disrespect just have 1,000’s and 1,000’s of questions.

I still think it will all be a red herring.

Things there are becoming even more interesting. It should be something to see how this all pans out in the end.

Orang Lenggor - the term I used in some of my early posts over at Cryptozoology.com. I preferred this to “mawas” because of the confusion of the latter term with orangutans.

Loren, I realized, after reading this post, that I’ve missed out a couple of finer details:

“It has a fierce-looking face, big body and walks with a hunch. It resembles a sturdy man,” he added.

Those words I’ve also heard from Vincent during the press conference. His description is consistent. In fact, he added that the mawas walked in manner which reminded one of an old man’s gait. The reason for this, he explained, was the massive weight that this bipedal creature has to carry every step it takes.

As for the media’s error…what can I say but: Hmmm…is this the first time?

The media does say there are two separate groups, but I have not been incorrect in the clarification of this as I noted in this posting. See above for Vincent Chow re-confirmation of what he and I had talked about before. There are two versions, one in English and one in Chinese. The media got it wrong folks, not Cryptomundo.
