Strange that you would avoid commenting on the 'sworn to secrecy' and rather comment on the lodge without doing your own online research. It sounds like you make major assumptions without research. The fact is you Dutchman Hunters all know everything and mexican history in the sups like the back of your hands your not fooling anyone so dont even try. As far as accusations they are only questions with question marks why on earth would you think they were accusations. Now ill bet everyone is questioning.
Avoid commenting on the "sworn to secrecy" bit? How about IGNORED that statement of yours, since unless it were proven that Mr Kollenborn was in fact a member of the Freemasons in some way, it would be irrelevant. Whom has never once been sworn to secrecy over some thing at some point in their lives? Even children do such things over the secret pet frog that Mom would kill us for having in the house etc. You are the person making major assumptions, and refuse to back up your assertions with documented evidence.
Your next little insult is a joke; who here has ever said they know everything of Mexican history or that they know the Superstitions like the back of their hand? I certainly never have, so your statement is false. I don't know everything about the Superstitions or of Mexican or Spanish history and have never claimed that I did. You on the other hand have already said that Dutch hunters don't know Spanish/Mexican history in the Superstitions so I asked you to name a few books we can read to learn what it is that you think we (collectively) do not know, and you conveniently dodged that simple request. Your whole attitude here has been confrontational, hinting at insults right along when most of us have been civil and polite to you. Clearly you do not want to have a discussion of the topic, unless it is what you want to say only.

Well, it was YOU who brought up my undies in the first place, remember? So they (my undies) were on YOUR mind well before I ever made mention of them. Now you are embarrassed that I replied, so I have no wish to embarrass you any further and will allow the mystery of what is worn underneath to remain an un-solved (and un-sought) mystery.
Second it rather looks like you are the one in need of brushing up on comprehension of what you read; I suggest you re-read the past posts referred to.
It is crystal clear that you believe in the Peralta stones, and cannot have a discussion without trying to make it some kind of personal conflict, like several other "believers". I have not been rude to you nor insulted anyone who does believe the stone maps are genuine, but apparently you can't do likewise for anyone who does NOT believe they are genuine, nor that they even necessarily are maps of the Superstitions. So I won't waste your time and mine any further. Good luck and good hunting Jerry and Native One, I hope you find the treasures that you seek.
