rangler, did it ever occur to you that those other marks and symbols MIGHT very well be an open "diary of record" put there by Spanish crews who later followed the trails to the deposits / mines?? Not all, of course, because some are obviously 20 th century type crap put there by thoughtless people putting their "brand" on everything in sight. As I've pointed out several times, THAT is why I believe in marking everything and tagging them. To attempt to separate the old and the new to give folks a good foundation to work from.
Lots of things occur to me Bill, one of them is you are absolutely hooked on marking rocks, and really you could care less what you mark. You don't give a hoot about 'dairy's'. fractals , graffiti, or real Spanish Colonial Treasure or Trail Markers, you sit there with your box of crayons, like you were in a rubber room and just mark away to your hearts content. Thinking you are being of some help to folks, a prep sheet for other to have a foundation to work from.
When nothing is further from the truth!!. You are hindering and confusing people is what you are doing. Not sure if it is innocent right now. I will give you the benefit of the doubt..for now.. but if you persist on marking crap for so long and now go to such extreme lengths to defend it, that it makes us all suspect you motives.
Your flailing around like a madman, trying every excuse you can - to defend pareidolia.
It is why I call it a virus. IT is insidious and contagious. Calling nature graffiti marks possible entries in a 'rock diary' of the Spanish is grasping at straws, Bill, Please step back and take a look where the defending of graffiti is pushing you ..you're almost at the edge.
Just because you think you see some recognizable shape looking back at you on the rock , does not mean it is really there! The human brain can be fooled, as the Jesuits knew -
they used that to their advantage. You are a victim of that...as you go along all this time still under its influence..seeing and marking rocks - while under the influence of pariedolia.
Cloud reading is childish, especially once you have been instructed differently, and childish if you persist on trying to gain 'converts' others them to see and to hear your defenses and get them on board the idea of 'no matter what you THINK you see... you see...therefore it is real..
The more you mark graffiti - you more lead people astray - your posts should be followed with the following disclaimer......
