[edit] Clumsy intro

That was me, knocking something up in a hurry. Better than nothing, I suppose... anyway, it looks better now. Totnesmartin 22:16, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] POV

Quote from the article as of 17 March 2008:

As expected, certain individuals have expressed contradictory opinions, but those individuals are, without exception, non-scientist amateurs who have never seen or examined cast in person. For example, non-scientist Ron Schaffner (an appliance maintenance technician in Ohio, and a former BFRO investigator) suggested that the Skookum impression was made by an elk, not because Schaffner had the opportunity to view or examine the cast in person, but rather because he was never sufficiently persuaded to change his initial, unsupported assumption -- an assumption based solely on his limited understanding of the circumstances, and not based the Skookum cast itself.

This needs to be reworked, it so POV it's silly. I tried to fix it but I couldn't without any sources. I don't want to just remove it though, because it states an interesting point. I'd like to see some sources here. Pipatron (talk) 12:09, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
