Look, I am new here and although I am interested in boundaries, that isn't the main
thing I'm interested in. But I thought this would be a cool place to learn more about
boundaries especially since I started looking up information about the Mason-Dixon
line on the internet. Now, once I'm accepted as a member, I see somebody is
complaining because another member posted information on a boundary that is not a
multi-point boundary.
Please pardon while I quote the text at the beginning of this group:
"Welcome to BoundaryPoint! BoundaryPoint is an international open discussion list for
"pointers and bounders"...individuals who are interested in finding, researching,
photographing and discussing geopolitical boundary points, especially those of a tri-
state or multipoint nature. We discuss our various "mini-expeditions" to these various
unique points on the earth."
Note that this group is described as one devoted to discussing boundary points,
"espcially" those of a tri-point or multi-point nature. According to my dictionary,
"especially" is not the same as "exclusive". Which means that although most members
may prefer to discuss multi-points, there's nothing wrong with members discussing
other boundaries.
I've taken some nice pictures of the Mason-Dixon line, and two of the original
cornerstones of the District of Columbia. But perhaps I should wait before posting
those since neither of them are multi-points.
