Zippy,
the possibility of unknown creatures of whatever size being found in the oceans is a fascinating one. The stories of eyewitness reports are intriguing, as are reports of creatures that have apparently been seen, analysed and then lost. Your research into these old sightings is exemplary, and your posts are long and well constructed.
Given all that, what I simply don't understand is why you don't put as much effort into reading what others have written as you clearly do into every other aspect of this thread. Misrepresenting The Shrike is entirely unnecessary, and harmful not just to your proposition, but also to the general interest in the thread. I don't want to read about your arguments and misunderstandings, and I'm sure I'm not alone.
So, can I suggest that you give us less poorly thought-through critique of what others aren't actually saying, and more of the reports which don't seem to fit known creatures?
