Lynda, I’m not going to answer for the other readers but I’m not sure what you think I would be afraid of. I’m certainly not afraid of changing my position or altering my theories as new facts or evidence comes to light, and more importantly, I'm not afraid of admitting error or fault. I do not have a "set framework" of anything- my theories and perceptions are always improving and evolving.
My interest is in compiling as complete and accurate a history of what has transpired within the Superstitions, and I knowingly do this in a field that is full of fiction, deception, and flat out dishonesty. It takes a great deal of patience to separate the wheat grains of truth from the humongous chaff.
My area of interest, and specialty, as most people on here know, are the Stone Maps, and that puzzle to me, is largely complete, and has been filled from the inside out. There are a few peripheral puzzle pieces missing and one of which is: what exactly led Tumlinson to where he found the Stone Map(s)? I know it was not by accident. That is why I was eagerly looking forward to the doc, in the hope that this question may be answered. I noticed that you did not answer my question regarding the doc and I guess this is not a good sign.
I do not claim victory of any sort, nor do I claim to know more than anyone else on here. I am only interested in acquiring knowledge that I know to be true and attempting to match it to what I see out in the field, or vice versa. As they say, it is the journey that matters, not the destination, and this whole enterprise, or mystery, has been nothing short of an absolute enjoyment for me. I love investigating, exploring, and doing research, and hope that I will not run out of things to find, track down, or verify.
And no, you don't get in trouble for telling other people they're out of kilter, but for how you say it. You are otherwise a first-rate researcher, and I've always enjoyed what you've written and shared with us, minus the sly innuendos and whatnots.
