If you would have taken the time to watch some of Matt's videos you would have those answers.
Modern crop circle making spawned from a couple of guys trying to 'recreate' or 'simulate' what used to be referred to as saucer nests or landing impressions. Being artists they introduced various other elements to the design. Being illegal the works were anonymous. Also taking credit for the art was thought to diminish the mystery and interest. Copy cats arose and produced their own circles. The mythos that the crop circles are in some way produced in some paranormal fashion rather than by human beings is perpetuated by the crop circle 'community' itself for various reasons.
While some may be designed to convey some sort of message a great deal of them are just interesting patterns and like a Rorschach blot can be interpreted in various ways.
The really sad thing here is this. Here you have at least two real crop circle makers (I'm not one of them) posting to this thread trying to give the honest to goodness truth about the phenomena. Multiple videos have been provided for review that explain all aspects of the phenomena (every question asked so far are answered in them), even how to detect that they are man made and the methods used to construct them. Yet ...they are not believed. It really is a sad/funny thing to watch happening.
