randy
just wanting to add
i really did appreciate your many questions
even tho i probably cant really answer most of them
& enjoyed the adventures behind them

& to also add
i think both of the poles are worthy of gold dots
as the historical &or probable or even merely plausible multicountry points
that they both in fact are
but i dont think either of them is worthy of a blue dot at this time

in this regard they join in my mind at least the many & various examples
of eminent but generally unrecognized former & potential multicountry
points we have already contemplated & evaluated & generally hung out to dry
such as
the mohawk pair or
the 3 intermediate positions remaining in the bwnazmzw area after the 2
most conservative & distant points there receive the blue dots they deserve

namely the most westerly or bwnazm point
& most easterly or bwzmzw point
where the quadripoint if any would emerge & absorb the other
& whatever dissimilarly extra or satellite micropoints as may remain about
the single most authoritative blue dot that is eventually geospecified in
cases like the several imminent palestine tripoints or bedelu or even atchde
tho such particular blues & golds may fall only a few feet or hundredths of
a second apart

in other words
the blue dots mark & i think should continue to mark the most
conservatively defined & most highly qualified tri country points
while the gold ones mark & honor all the remainder
of whatever description

of course there are many such descriptions
& they could all eventually be color coded by type
but things neednt ever get that complicated
since the blues will probably dominate everything anyway
