Bigfoot Post Removed

August 20, 2008 by Paul Karlsgodt

As you may have noticed, my Bigfoot post from Saturday has been removed.  I had no idea that it would generate the controversy that it did.  After much thought, I decided that it would be better to remove the entire entry rather than contribute to more escalation of what is obviously a long-standing and fervent debate.

It probably seems ironic that the whole posting and its retraction in hindsight appears to be just the sort of publicity stunt that was the subject of the article in the first place, but the stir that followed the article’s publication is not the type of publicity I am looking for here.

To anyone who might have been offended, please accept my sincere apologies.
