I definitely dont poo poo everyones ideas. Maybe you should read the forum again. I have supported far more ideas than I have argued against. You appear to be a very fast reader, reading the entire forum, clicking every supporting link, in far less than a day. I wish I was able to read and comprehend as fast (and I am not being sarcastic in this comment).
If a suggestion is made, is it not right to be critical of it if there is no logic or basis for that argument also posted with it? In fact is not right be critical of everything as long as you can support your argument for being critical in the first place? Just because you question or comment on a posted doesn't mean you are dismissing it. Maybe the poster hasnt thought it through, or maybe they really have thought it through but haven't posted their reasons for believing their idea to be a good one, making it hard for others to see where their logic comes from? Maybe you are not seeing what the poster sees?
What is the point of posting anything at all if you are not prepared to hear other peoples opinion on it. The reason I post is for EXACTLY THAT, that my idea is teased apart and fairly criticised. If you want to suggest my idea is wrong then do so along with the reason(s) behind that argument. Why else would I post, but to see other peoples thoughts and criticisms? Maybe by criticism I see something I have not seen before. Its often the criticism or argument against logic that leads to new ideas, to it being verified, or for that ideal to be shown as a dead end.
I write in a very direct fashion, (dylexia, OCD and other issues/disabilities which I will not discuss), it is never my intention to insult, and I will wholeheartedly apologize if someone does feel offended.

Just a reminder to all:
Please word your replies in a more respectful manner of each other's thoughts and personalities.....this is a place for discussion----a place to where we share many different ideas and thought processes--- which might not always mesh with our own.
It must be remembered, that NO ONE KNOWS (not even ourselves), and no one should ever condemn or ridicule another person's thoughts or ideas, for the mere reason 'you' don't think it is correct.
Please try to tone down responses. The old saying of 'if you can't say anything nice, say nothing at all' might be worth practicing a bit more. If you don't agree, or have your own idea, you don't have to force your own thought on everyone else....... you can just go hmmmm and move on. This isn't a battleground, it's a discussion forum....
I appreciate you all being here....and part of an exciting hunt.
I had received a note recently from Lukas, and he mentioned he stops by and reads how searchers are thinking... let's keep this forum one he is happy to visit...
Thanks all.....

My apologies. I’m here to learn and share! Efanton...the other thing I could tell from reading all the post....is that you want it the most and are working the hardest for it. Which I can tell you from experience...works. I spent months and Months and many trips hunting Jeff Williams lost silver cache in Nevada and finally found it by shear determination and elimination in the end. Our search field on this one might be too big for elimination working this time around , but you have the determination. Best of luck to you!

Thanks goldenchild... the message was a reminder to all.... I'm not familiar with Jeff Williams Lost Silver Cache.... what/when was that treasure hunt...so many hunts..so little time...lol.. Congrats on the find! it was a pony express box filled with silver Morgan’s from late 1800’s and some gold...and a peacemaker pistol. I have video of the moment I found it and lots of pictures of the clues, markers etc I found along the way. It’s definitely helped me looking at other treasure hunts differently. Things are usually more simple than we make them out to be. Most searchers end up out smarting themselves!

Thanks goldenchild... the message was a reminder to all.... I'm not familiar with Jeff Williams Lost Silver Cache.... what/when was that treasure hunt...so many hunts..so little time...lol.. Congrats on the find! He’s about to release a second hunt sometime this week! This time for silver bars and a bar of gold! Maybe it should get added to your list of treasure hunts? He has a YouTube and Patreon channel with info. And I didn’t answer your when question...I found it last October. Took a few months and at least five trips to Northern Nevada from Washington state. I tagged teamed it with a buddy where we’d each go for a week and have a couple overlapping days on the ground together to catch each other up on progress made on the ground and progress made back home on the research. Lots of man hours and literally hundreds of miles of BOTG searching. If you would like a full write up with pictures and video just let me know! I’ve been meaning to put it all down for further searchers benefit. Sorry for polluting the thread with off topic stuff! I’m done I promise.

I dont know about everybody else, but that would definitely be an interview/article I would love to see Jenny publish. Its great to see Jenny interview those who set the puzzles, they can be really useful and definitely add to the whole experience. But I suspect it would be a far more interesting article actually interviewing those who succeeded in solving a puzzle. Maybe an interview by Jenny and a little write up by yourself goldenchild.
