So, I'll have to answer my own question, although Bodhi I'm sure could just as well. The question being: What should a field researcher like Utah Sasquatch do with all of this presumed data, video and genetic information he might possibly capture? Pound sand, that's what.
U.S. knows now, if he didn't know before, that there is no legitimized outlet, no sanctioned scientific entity or agency that would return his calls. Toss the information into the black hole of the internet? Congratulations on your thousands of views. Here's a copy of the home game and thanks for playing. (Oh, and kiss that shot at tenure and funding goodbye while you are at it, and grow some thicker skin)
Time and again the evidence collected gets dismissed by a wave of the hand by people who should know better. Being invited to kick the football one more time while they promise (really) to hold it for you? Pffft.
So all we have going on with our resident peanut gallery hecklers here is just the most recent cross-my-heart-and-hope-to-die-stick-a-needle-in-my-eye request. No. Really. This time I'll give you your due. (But just sayin' too, if I do renege, it will probably be your fault, not mine, 'k?) Ready?
So to crib from another thread: Here is the state of Sasquatch Science. Supposedly, we are told, only the body of something very few people are looking for is going to break this logjam. Those who clamor for that outcome are asking for something they've never seriously considered to exist, and cite the lack of any other legitimate evidence brought to any sanctioned authority,,,those shown to be hostile to that lesser evidence... as the reason why. They pretend this makes perfect sense.
