<div id="ygrps-yiv-1345268463"><blockquote><span title="ireply">&gt;You were loud and clear.  I agree that every &quot;straight&quot; boundary<br/>
&gt;punctuated with nodes is probably not straight but segmented, with a<br/>
&gt;particular node more NEWSworthy than the others.<br/>

&gt;I might point out that I am only interested in dry cardinals (i.e.<br/>
&gt;that&#39;s how I&#39;m defining them). <br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>that is beautiful too<br/>
& you can count on pontiff max to mentally supply the word dry for you<br/>
whenever appropriate<br/>
& the canada dry whenever possible<br/>
& a veritable college of cardinals generally<br/>
of all persuasions<br/>
<br/>

&gt;It makes sense to try for exact tri-<br/>
&gt;points because how could you rightly claim a visit if you only set<br/>
&gt;foot in one or two of the states? <br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>i agree it makes sense to try for a bulls eye class a or b<br/>
but i also claim class c & d visits like that all the time<br/>
because visit doesnt only mean  go to  but also  go to see<br/>
<br/>
in fact 12 of my own tristate claims are still just that<br/>
& many of their pix are presently at the corner corner main page<br/>
but why not<br/>
<br/>
dan for another example just pointed out a beaut he has like that of abmtsk<br/>
which i think we would be honored to link to also<br/>
at least until somebody actually climbs that mountain & sends a closeup<br/>
& then he & we would still be honored i think<br/>
<br/>
<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt;<br/>
&gt;But since cardinals belong to only<br/>
&gt;one state (or sometimes two I suppose) it seems sufficient to visit<br/>
&gt;the NEWSiest point of dry land.<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt;BJB<br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>definitely sufficient<br/>
& probably even best if you only want to recognize a single probability of<br/>
each newspoint<br/>
nor do i blame you for wanting it that way as player or record keeper<br/>
tho i also love to say & be  continental & insular & absolute<br/>
as well as just dry<br/>
<br/>
connecticut south for example is so rich for having all 4 of these distinctions<br/>
<br/>
& no aleutian islanders could ever dispute your claim to continental use<br/>
even as they claimed insular use & dry use & absolute use for themselves<br/>
