OK...
The thing everyone needs to remember is that many of us who became interested in Ross as a suspect had very little to do with his look. REMEMBER THIS IS THE TIMELINE THREAD. And that timeline is what makes Ross a great suspect.
Most of us who zeroed in on Ross had worked the timeline of Zodiac out before hand. So all we needed to do was find a suspect who fit into the progression of the Z timeline.
To me, the one thing that would clear Ross as a suspect the most definitively, would be to prove the desktop poem is not Zodiac. Many people don't think it is, sure, but there are many good reasons to believe Z started out in Riverside and was inside that library.
The top suspects, all failed to link to the library first, then most were laughed off by witnesses who saw Z.
With Ross, the resemblance to the sketch is just icing on the cake.
