Hadn't we ever heard of The Pangea Institute ,demanded `The Highland Tiger.` No, in fact, neither Graham nor I who maintain the website had. I got them confused with Pangea Records who amongst others release stuff by the rather fab 9 Below Zero, and who I think are co-owned by Sting.
However, in the interests of fair play I have re-worded the front page of the CFZ website, which now reads:
'The Centre for Fortean Zoology [CFZ] is - we believe - the largest professional, scientific and full-time organisation in the world dedicated to cryptozoology - the study of unknown animals. Since 1992 the CFZ has carried out an unparalleled programme of research and investigation all over the world.'
Two questions: firstly, can anyone else tell me anything about The Pangea Institute apart from what is on their website? These guys seem to be singing from a very similar hymn book to us, and if they are on the level I would like to make contact. Secondly, if there is anyone larger than the CFZ, please let me know. Both those questions are meant seriously and without a hint of irony.
Whilst on the subject of both websites and lack of irony, we carried out major rejigs of the website twice in the last 18 months. Whilst doing so I drew upon a lot of material written by different people for the CFZ. If it is pointed out to me that bits are ambiguous or even wrong, they are changed. Correcting mistakes is not fraud, it is good housekeeping. If anyone finds mistakes in the website please email me at jon@eclipse.co.uk
