<div id="ygrps-yiv-1590091609">jesper i trust i didnt scare you off with the ravings of my danish nor the<br/>
passions of my barbarian patriotism<br/>
& i am also glad in your momentary absence to advance your singaporean<br/>
suggestion by bringing up the awesomely huge map of that small country at<br/>

<br/>
in this rather authoritative looking depiction it is possible to see<br/>
hopeful if not yet entirely convincing signs of the two maritime tripoints<br/>
you or we have previously surmised for idmysge & idmysgw<br/>
<br/>
these appear here as implied corners situated very approximately at<br/>
lat north 1deg16min40sec x long east 104deg03min05sec<br/>
&<br/>
lat north 1deg13min20sec x long east 103deg36min15sec<br/>
respectively<br/>
<br/>
such nice hard corners<br/>
assuming they are cartographically responsible depictions<br/>
do not necessarily make the presence of tripoints a foregone conclusion but<br/>
do give us reason to surmise & search for a couple of malaysia indonesia<br/>
boundary segments terminating &or initiating precisely at both these corners<br/>
<br/>
in fact i do seem to recall such a boundary mentioned somewhere recently<br/>
but cant pin it down at the moment<br/>
<br/>
i am hoping that the mapsurfer or someone else better equipped with the<br/>
hard data than ourselves can tell us for sure here<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
btw i have confirmed randy was right on about armenia & azerbaijan & iran<br/>
all sharing that weird set of twins<br/>
<br/>
what is so weird there is that none of these 3 countries is completely<br/>
hemmed in thereby in the way andorra liechtenstein swaziland nepal bhutan<br/>
mongolia & perhaps singapore all are<br/>
<br/>
in fact it appears he has been right every time<br/>
& he & we do seem to me at least to be complete on this question of twins<br/>
except for the singapore details<br/>
tho of course i could be wrong about that too<br/>
& would love to be corrected as always<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
also<br/>
i hope the above map gives you reason by analogy to begin to believe with<br/>
me in the possibility of a danish maritime multinational point or points<br/>
<br/>
m<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
ps<br/>
& even if i prove to be mistaken about this last belief<br/>
i still think that denmark in its capacity as greenland could at the very<br/>
least & without ever having to negotiate with anyone make a unilateral<br/>
sector claim to a share of the north pole just as russia & liberal elements<br/>
of the canadian government have already done<br/>
so as to produce with them a rather hypothetical yet still somewhat real<br/>
cadkru point there over the objections of norway & the united states & more<br/>
conservative elements of the canadian government<br/>
not to mention the 6 countries who have voluntarily suspended their sector<br/>
claims to the south pole<br/>
