Much as I would like to search for HIM/HER again, sometimes I wonder if it is not better if we left them alone, and just live with this lingering heartache that IT is there and how one would love to just have a glimpse, however fleeting! So for the time being, may we live through the eyes of those who have actually seen one and lived to tell about it. And there are a few lucky ones who have done so.

This is what the Joi de vie –joy of life is all about. A marvelling of the unknown and the hope for better things to come! Cheers!

Whether the answer is a simple or convoluted one. What I am urging our readers here is not to write off something that exists and keep faith with the knowledge that with time and the expanding sphere of outside contact with the shrinking jungle, its exposure is inevitable.

I have had many a chat with the Orang Asli [our Jungle Tribesman] since 1970’s about this subject and have personally spoken to a few men who had first hand sightings, albeit now some 30 years ago. What they told me tallies with what I heard in other parts of the same jungle. And our jungle is huge.

It was NOT an Orang Hutan that they saw, but something bigger and heavier, upright and hairy and black. Our sun bears are no bigger than your Rottweilers, so there are very few known candidates we know that will fit the bill.

I am sorry to see that those few fake photos caused us so much dismay. When I first heard of their existence [the photos] I was relieved, that the hunt is over and I can now put away my old jungle boots, parang and dream another adventure. Now I am happy that they are fakes, so the hunt is again on, and that there is still some life left in the old dog.

May our Malaysian Bigfoot live long.

“No photos, no bigfoot” is TOO simplistic.

Maybe there ARE some folks here seeking diversion from the constant images of world events, and that’s OK. Lord knows, we all need some escape from today’s reality.

But, again, there are people who come here for answers to legitimate questions, and explainations for things they’ve seen with their own eyes that defy their own set of beliefs.

Those who are here for that reason have every cause to be “harsh on our two friends” for, at the very least encouraging, and at worst, instigating such a transparent hoax.

You do a disservice to those people by throwing out terms such as “armchair researchers” because forums such as this may be the only means available to some.

Speaking for myself, I’m just looking for answers to what might “exist,” and have no plans to make any self-serving declaration in the event of confirmation of the truth, whatever that may be.

I hope I don’t seem harsh or disrespectful here; I’m just trying to express my opinion, and I thank the authors of this blog for the opportunity to do so.

The world at this stage , so hungry for anything as sensational would love a BF, something to bite on, other than the ME conflicts we see on TV.
Lets not be too harsh on our two friends. Time will soon tell, and like all new discoveries in history, it WILL BE first hotly DENIED, then vehemently ATTACKED and when the truth is proven, all these armchair researchers, hunters will just declare that THEY KNEW IT EXISTED, ALL ALONG !!

KEEP YOUR EYES TUNED ON THIS BLOG FOR THE NEAR FUTURE. And the very best of Irish Luck to ye all.

The expectations are IMPOSSIBLY high, Mr. Chow. So much so that film and photos are probably never by themselves going to satisfy. So what? If they’re the goods, they are. Time and further research will either prove them out or keep them in the Pantheon of Great Enigmas (e.g., Patterson/Gimlin).

This was an utter fiasco, one that could have been avoided by doing what Loren and Craig — Key Names in crypto if there are any — do: hey, got something here, kids. You’re smart; and I don’t know for sure what it could be. What do YOU think?

We’re ALL smarter than some people think we are.
