yes i am definitely interested in these data &
anything else you can dish up that would further
enhance & advance & focus our quest for
kondo manne
i didnt even anticipate the possibility you mention
but presumed that all the marker pairs would flank &
mark only the banks of the full beds
since we know the intent was to share the full rivers
rather than just the main channels
so i have to wonder why they ever marked any island
& an example would assuage my incredulity
i can easily imagine an avulsion isolating a marker
tho
& that would make an interesting conundrum for the
condo commission or management to fix
but this situation too would be an improbable
happenchance
given the low number of markers & great lengths of
riverage involved
in any event
we seem to agree on the extreme unlikelihood
of there being a marker on any island
from whatever cause

alternatively
& whether legal ownership is possible or not
worthless neglected condo islands would make a great
place to squat
& i think this may represent the likelier probability
for our locating & contacting any true condo people
of course if one squats long enough it might even
become legal
but that seems doubly likely in this dual situation
it seems that a likelier probability than establishing
condominial land ownership would be for establishing
condominial citizenship directly
in theory this would merely require a single pregnant
squatter to squat long enough to give birth there
so whether we ever find anyone or anything
or not
any condo natives we ourselves can produce would still
satisfy our quest for homo condominiensis

absolutely
& you are the keeper of our best available data
for starters

for sure if he would sire the child or children
but of course a woman or women would also be essential
for the actual birthing

thanx
it keeps growing
you may recall it was just a sliver on the first peek
in peters map
then grew & acquired a clearing & structure in the
first aerial photo
& next gained a long broad lens of accretions at the
downstream end while sprawling out to occupy almost
the entire bed for almost its entire length
& has here grown yet again
of course we dont know the actual chronological
sequence of these 4 peeks
but if it is a single growth sequence as it appears
then our clearing & little structure or 2 near the
upstream end have become overgrown again
but at least we know where to look for them
& these remain to date our best hope
not only of finding what & whom we are looking for
but also of situating any rogue midwifery we might
find it necessary to undertake
it would sort of be the opposite of an abortion clinic
rather than eliminating anyone
we would just be redoubling their sovereignty
