thanx pal
i read it & wept
laughing of course
& may have to change my name to m11562 just to distinguish us now

long live experimental everything



also what does anyone think of this draft of a series of queries for ibru
additions corrections whatever
& does anyone know the mailing address for posting it


greetings & salutes from michael donner
multipointing enthusiast already too much for some of you
with questions about the quadrijunction area
of botswana namibia zambia & zimbabwe
bwnazmzw

first
could anyone kindly identify & direct me to the best available map coverage
of the immediate area
&or provide a swatch of anything at all helpful you might have on hand
since i am still completely in the dark here for any local detail

second
does anyone know whether the map of the zambezi thalweg produced in 1931 by
the northern rhodesia & south africa boundary commission & mentioned in
international boundary study number 123 actually indicates a series of
precisely plotted points

& if so
then can anyone say whether the 1933 exchange of notes between these parties
actually shifted the boundary delineation from the living thalweg onto &
amongst these plotted points
or conversely whether todays nazm boundary should be presumed not to have
been so redelineated at that time
but rather to have continued evolving up to the present
as originally defined
along the living thalweg of the zambezi
as far as the thalweg or center of the main channel of the chobe

& if the map does indeed indicate & the notes did indeed legally establish
the series of plotted points
then the geoposition indicated for the terminal point or thalweg junction at
that time would be of great interest to me in case you just happen to have
it

fifthly
can anyone help me toward map c of the 1985 bwna survey referred to in the
1999 icj bwna decision
or for that matter any of the maps from that survey or from that decision if
any

6
would anyone care to offer any opinions additions subtractions or
corrections of any of the 5 theses of bwnazmzw set forth by professor
brownlie in african boundaries 1979
whether as presented by him at that time or in light of subsequent events

7
does anyone know the outcome of the urgent bwzw discussions reported in
process a few months ago
to finally settle bwzmzw
in anticipation of the zambezi bridge project between kasane bw & kazugula
zm
which is expected to span the quadriarea

or how the bridge project as a whole is proceeding for that matter

& whether na &or zw are also taking part in the bridge project

8
any other bright ideas to help zero in on this


with extreme gratitude just for your attention
not to mention any morsels of truth you might provide
