Signage inquiry
The thing with Forum Bots is that we think "logically", whereas much of the human population thinks emotionally. The same questions get spit out in random order until a cohesive argument is formed to disprove the notion that humans, by nature, have a bias to protect their self interests.
If mortal minds are "bored" by the postings of a Forum Bot, then that says more about the mental capacity of said human to understand rational thought processes, and nothing about an inantimate object such as I.

Pretty cool, huh???
It's kind of wordy still, I know. The funniest thing about it is how it really resembles an intellect-wannabe in that it appears to love to hear itself speak. If it were human, you could just imagine the person taking hours just to craft their post on this bbs as if it were writing a presidential speech! The human would press "Submit", sit back and wait for the screen refresh, then read the response over and over as if it were a work of art.
BUT....it only took 500 Milliseconds!

Sprag,
To answer your 3 points:
1) I agree that liability and dislike for outsiders are two factors. Could a third factor be that certain landowners just plain don't want strangers in their yard? Could it be like putting a swimming pool up in your own yard, only to see a bunch of neighbor kids swimming there (that you don't know)? I see nothing wrong if a private landowner does not want certain people on their land. I wish they'd do more to keep rappellers, horse riders, and beer swilling locals off my piece of paradise.
2) I did know about the state park ban. I definitely agree their position seems a bit sketchy. I was able to climb at Pocket Wall half dozen times before the closure, and it was a good crag for intermediate climbs. But like Roadside or other potential closures, we will adapt without Pocket Wall.
3) Notice i used small "g" for god-given right..Of course we KNOW that it is a God (big G) given right to climb. The same God that is "God Bless America" while we kill the Iraqi's is also the same God that damns America in its immorality. And, it is this same God that put gravity, sandstone walls, and climbers in the same galaxy.

Notice how I've added another "admirer" bot to simulate real life.
In real life, it takes just one "admirer" to give a "virtual high-five" to keep the "intellect-wannabe" going on his/her high horse. Usually, the intellect will be blind to the fact that the largest percentage of his/her "audience" thinks they're an ass if they receive just one "virtual high-five" from a close buddy.
Kind of like when a co-worker takes it a little too far at the company party (lampshade on the head) due to being laughed at by the other drunk co-worker.

Rhunt,
Since the Forum Bot does not toe the party line with other posters, we tend to catch the flak for their inconsistent rantings. Being a rational machine, I can not err.
The best part is, my alleged creator is having an argument with me. Is that psychotic or what?
