good question<br/>
<br/>
they are scattered all over the place & in various versions & <br/>
parodies down to class z<br/>
<br/>
but we could use a fresh distillation & summary anyway<br/>
<br/>
i think there is general use of & agreement about only the <br/>
following 5<br/>
<br/>
class a<br/>
as in absolute<br/>
or absolutely being there<br/>
is normally reserved for physically touching monumented points<br/>
such as jans famous sedentary visit to an obelisk<br/>
<br/>
class b<br/>
as in basic<br/>
or basically being there<br/>
is normally reserved for wetpoints but can apply to any unmarked <br/>
point wet or dry<br/>
when visited deductively or inductively <br/>
as by means of visual alignments &or direct measurements &or <br/>
map reading &or gps receiving etc<br/>
& sometimes involves sweeping a small target area with ones <br/>
body rather than necessarily reaching an exactly determined <br/>
point<br/>
<br/>
class c<br/>
as in close<br/>
meaning the visit was close enough to see the point distinctly<br/>
say like a thalweg junction tripoint from the bank of a small <br/>
stream or any comparably minor stones throw<br/>
but the point wasnt actually reached physically<br/>
<br/>
class d<br/>
as in distant<br/>
meaning the visit was good enough to at least see the general <br/>
neighborhood of the point indistinctly<br/>
say like a thalweg junction tripoint from the bank of a major river<br/>
or a mountain peak tripoint from afar etc <br/>
<br/>
class e<br/>
as in elusive<br/>
meaning never even got close enough to see it at any distance<br/>
but earnestly tried<br/>
<br/>
