<div id="ygrps-yiv-1091391205">ahh  i see<br/>
<br/>
it was only my runaway miscomprehension<br/>
<br/>
  heck of a pipe dream tho<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
still the intermittent corridor that actually exists is mighty fine too<br/>
& evidently a leading edge idea even without my blunder<br/>
<br/>

<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt;Oops.  If I gave somebody an idea that Tin Bigha lies<br/>
&gt;in an intersecting border point, I am sorry.  Tin<br/>
&gt;Bigha isn&#39;t THAT interesting.<br/>
&gt;    India          <br/>
&gt;     __   |<br/>
&gt;    |  |  |  Bangladesh  <br/>
&gt;    |  |__|<br/>
&gt;    | B|__|&lt;--- Tin Bigha<br/>
&gt;    |__|  |<br/>
&gt;  India  _|    Bangladesh<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt;This is about what the area look like.  I was counting<br/>
&gt;the tripoints the four corners of Tin Bigha as the<br/>
&gt;tripoints (The area is almost a rectangle in real life<br/>
&gt;too).  The B is the Bangladeshi enclave of<br/>
&gt;Dahagram-Angarpota.  The map I have is too big to<br/>
&gt;transfer and I don&#39;t have a scanner, so I can&#39;t show<br/>
&gt;it easily.  It&#39;s almost like if Llivia had a neutral<br/>
&gt;territory as the access to Spain instead of French<br/>
&gt;territory.<br/>
&gt;That reminds me of another question.  When the neutral<br/>
&gt;territory between Saudi Arabia and Iraq was in<br/>
&gt;existence, was there a quadripoint between the neutral<br/>
&gt;territory, Kuwait, Iraq and Saudi Arabia?<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt;Arif<br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>i could almost swear i have seen a detail map that made it look like an<br/>
exact quadripoint<br/>
tho i may have only dreamt this one too<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
happily there is still a tri country there<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
interesting also<br/>
examples of dry neutral zones are looking very scarce<br/>
while wet ones are becoming quite the rage now<br/>
especially in the sea<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
luckily for keeping our literal tri country point count simple<br/>
most of the resulting neutral zone tripoints involve only 2 countries<br/>
& so  tho world class as tripoints  they may slip thru our dragnet<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
but may your tin bigha 4 way flashers be our guiding beacon<br/>
or even our diadem frankly<br/>
for the unique spectacle & prospects they raise<br/>
