Its hard to know as a researcher or treasure hunter when you shouldn't ask questions. If someone tells me they cannot reveal something, I back off and respect that. And I would much rather they do that than lie to me to get me off on a goose chase. But until they do so, or otherwise indicate my questions are unwelcome, I like to ask questions. And get answers too. That's just being a good investigator. Now I can understand if many people approach you over the years that gets pretty old. But if we don't ask questions, what then? Where do you go from there? Its a fine art in learning how to read people and approach them in ways that are acceptable and welcome. Not in the interest of manipulation or being sneaky, but as a way to develop relationships that result in your knowledge base growing.
I never expect to find SPIT! I don't think any gold bars have my name on them in some cave or cache. I just enjoy the hunt, and the learning about so much on the side that you must engage in to truly understand the main focus of your research. This bothers a lot of people, when you don't share their greed or their need to control, and they often try to sabotage your research in any number of ways. Often the truth is the most threatening thing, when it shows there isn't a treasure, or that what a person considers as valid evidence really isn't...
