hello all
& thanxx for all the great new topics & angles
of which i can only hope to touch on a few


peter
major congrats on conceiving the south american gcebe

i know we are all with you & it
in spirit at the very least
& thats no small thing

now if you would do africa & asia when you get a chance please too


also glad to hear you repeat again your love of truth
especially when it comes to this postage stamp

i think we should still count a close call as a real tp tho
& even a distant shot too
albeit marginally & temporarily
just as we do & should do for your or anyones personal tp visit claims

if we dont
then my sabinio gorilla stamp must bite the dust too


by the same token of truth
i think that the 1971 map of defrlu you just posted should be considered
very probably outdated by comparison with the much newer looking one posted
by gartner & jesper
which does show the delu joint zone

it is true that the river condos suggested by barry & reiterated elsewhere
are not mentioned by gideon
but gideon is frequently very simplistic & sketchy about his particulars
as you can see by comparing his tp details to those i lifted from brownlie
just as an example
& gideons info could also be older than gartners & barrys too

so i think we have to allow for the possibility that either point of view
may yet prove to be the present legal truth here
as well as at bedelu
& perhaps even at other euro river tripoints


also
arif & brendan & peter & david & myself

i really do appreciate your several valiant efforts to sort out the truth
of enclaves & exclaves etc
& would add that i think it is important to again allow for the possibility
that everybody might & could be correct here
especially in an area so many feel so strongly about

& since it appears that nothing of great consequence hinges on how we
exactly parse these words
i would like to propose that we all are in fact & in truth correct in our
several perhaps mutually conflicting beliefs

& we could also then laugh together at common usage of these words for
being so self contradictory

& if so
then my idea of creating a complete typology so as to comprehend & embrace
all the various & particular types is probably not really necessary after
all

cheers
