wow i see no lack in it geoh
but only the virtue of having elicited such weird answers
since i rather doubt any more exact campobello mates will be
found anywhere anyway
the danish offering having obviously been kaput from the start
i now realize
because my map failed to show a bridge
but of course you could keep refining or redefining your quest
entirely out of existence too
until you can finally declare campobello a topological singularity
on some grounds or other
but your definition had no actual deficiencies that i could see

very nice indeed

it is michel but as you say
only sort of
rather than an exact match
as penon would probably resemble alhucemas & chafarinas not
diurnally but only during or after a major storm if ever
as i think it may actually have done in the past
also the fact that there is no definite border on this causeway
may also serve to distinguish penon from ceuta & melilla
thus leaving you in fact with nothing other than what you sought
except that it was more a cosmic than a strictly human creation
no deficiency alarms going off there
on the contrary
isnt that really the bonus bell you are hearing there

what other continents
i know someone else i could ask
do you have something in mind
