True. And others, who've read enough of the research to realize the likelihood of the circles all having been made by human beans with a rope and a board is virtually nil, don't propose any explanations for them. Doug and Dave had quite a scam going there for a while. Most people never realized that more than 200 crop circles had been reported prior to 1970, when D&D started making them. If you're interested, Curtis and I discussed crop circles at some length in September of last year. I provided URLs to some of the research. The thread title was "New Crop Circles."
