group and joined it. I'm glad that I did, and I have learned a great
amount.

a fair point & a fair question
likewise how can there be boundaries without countries
& how can there be countries without planets or molecules etc
however
it is not the general neighborhood but multihood itself that is the
unique & most essential truth & primary motivation behind bp
& far the greatest value & fun for me at least has been in the
pursuit of the multidimensional reality that is symbolized & to
some extent really activated by our multipointing here at bp
as an organization this is what makes us unique on the planet
there are other boundary discussion groups
there is only one multipointing group
only one true gymnasium for multidimensional truthseeking
at least so far as i am aware of
so it seems to me
unless one is engaged in the pursuit of the manyness here
one is fundamentally missing the point of here
which is ok as you know
but it needs to at least be observed for what it is
an interest & topic almost inseparable yet actually separate &
distinct from the unique perspective & point of this group
If a boundary is poorly demarcated or if it moves, then the
multipoint is poorly demarcated or moves. The same historic,
legal, and practical principals apply to both. Also, since there are
more boundaries than multipoints, boundaries are more
accessible and more likely to be discussed.

multipoints only, and there is a sister group for boundary
discussions, I will be glad to subscribe to both. If a different
group is needed, it should be a new group, not IBRG. IRBG is
for those who plan to participate in IRBG expeditions, and the
rest of us should not hijack that group.

but 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.

BoundaryPoint is wanted. This happens all the time, one topic
fills up too much in a group, and so a sub- or sister group has
been established, no hard feelings here.
