hahahaha
ok i take it back
you can mean this if you like
hahaha
but hey then that means all these multipoints some of us have
been chasing all these years werent so precious after all
hahahahaha
& the joke is really on us all rather than just me
haha you guys
yow i can hardly believe it
& so all boundary points are really multipoints after all
dohh
hahahaha
not just the real multipoints
hahaha
how stupid of me
& the multipoints now must become megapoints
as the megapoints become gigapoints
& the gigapoints maxipoints
& finally but first of all
even all the nonboundarypoints too may now at last rise to the
level of boundarypoints
in equally well earned promotion by association
but i am sure glad you finally arrived to rescue us from the
magnificence of all our delusions
hahaha
& think of the multitudes of romans
indeed all 2 of them
rolling over with laughter as well
in both of their several graves
very well indeed

no my friend you are right but white
real mohawk government is unified
entirely local
& sheerest panarchy

says is best
