jesper
thanxxx for being here & for all of these reflections & especially
for the great part of them that i do understand & agree with
but what i dont understand about what you are saying & polling
is that i thought we all just recently finished creating
featuring promoting nurturing commending exhorting saluting
priming & finally opening to everyone our only true sister group
ibrg
both by announcements on our bp home page & over the course
of many months of messages
& indeed i thought we did all this particularly because ibrg is
already expressly & fully devoted to borders
& so people who are interested in both multipoints in particular &
borders in general could subscribe to both groups
& indeed they & you have subscribed to both groups
& moreover i thought we did all this especially so as to be able to
relax about the admittedly difficult question you are again raising
so i still dont get what all the commotion is about
why dont we just use our existing second group for the purposes
we intended it for
& why would we need to even think about creating yet another
group at this point
perhaps just maintaining an affirmation of ibrg on the bp home
page with a referral of general border freaks to it
& perhaps adding a corresponding affirmation of bp to the ibrg
home page with a referral back to bp for the only slightly strange
multipointer individuals
is all we really need to do now
to ice & decorate our otherwise already fully effective freak & nut
layer cake
& welcome back jan

the truth is that without this group I would never have seen or
attempted 24 international tripoints, or probably been the first to
visit all DK county tripoints. I would also not have had the large
volume of knowledge of international borders that I have today,
all thanks to you. Without BoundaryPoint there wouldn't have
been a Border Crossing Hitlist or BorderBase, etc. etc.

though.

fills up too much in a group, and so a sub- or sister group has
been established, no hard feelings here.
