In view of the ongoing discussion regarding multipointing and "plain
vanilla" boundaries, I thought I should weigh in about BP's
founding. I'm speaking not as the "list owner" but rather as
a "custodian". I had originally searched for online discussions
related to my long held interest in general boundary topics. As has
been noted, there was scant discussion of boundary related topics at
the time. In the course of looking for boundary-related information
on the net, I came across Brian Butler's Corner Corner which was
devoted to multipointing...and contained a wealth of multipointing
knowledge contributed by Mike Donner as well as Brian. (I announced
the formation of the group to Mike the very next day, when we met to
investigate the infamous "blue dot" four-county multipoint in Central
Florida). I subsequently established BP as a way of providing a
discussion forum for my long held interest in boundaries, as well as
my newly discovered fascination with multipointing. While
multipointing was highlighted in the aims of the new list, it has
always been my personal intention to include general boundary topics
as well. My point? (No pun intended) I would be very happy to see
pointers and general boundary freaks continue to co-exist in BP, but
if the membership deems it necessary to split the group, so be it.
Personally, I don't thinks it's necessary. After all, it *is*
Boundary + Point...
