I know very little about rock art, but the whole chalking thing seems like an unnecessary process.

If in doubt it's always a good idea to read the Terms and Conditions before submitting material to this site. They're an easy going set of rules, and one of the points they include asks us to...

"Respect the sacredness of these temples and the land on which they stand."

It strikes me that RombaldII isn't trying to cause offense to anyone, but the end result is that he has. Easily done I guess.

I think most of us would like to welcome you to TMA RombaldII, but ask that you omitt chalking from your TMA posts. I may be going out on a limb here (and I'm sure some of you feel very strongly about this) but surely the 'welcome' bit is the most important mesage we should be sending RombaldII.

Aye.

Rombald, if you're recanting on the chalk thing, you'll find many people will be both supportive and appreciative of your efforts.

I would quite like it if you omitted chalk from the proximity to the stones, too.

However I think this is a case of ignorance rather than maliciousness and if photographs of unmarked stones and artistic impressions etc had been the introduction, then I would also be one of the first to welcome you
