exactly
you have finally hit it in your afterword here maestro
& the tripoints sometimes do indeed move about etc
so we only know for sure what was supposedly true at the time
they were last visited &or reported etc
so i absolutely agree with you about the tripoints & claves equally
& thats one reason for & benefit of reporting on them repeatedly
& you have proved these particular crumbs existed circa 1976 &
possibly as recently as 1978
tho i believe your logic is still questionable there in msg 15345
hahaha
however unworth questioning just to reduce by 2 the 28 years
during which i still do believe they havent been heard from
& in the meantime whole governments & nation states have
come & gone ferociously several times all thru there
which do in fact now recognize & mention all the well known
classmates of these maybeclaves but have apparently never
mentioned these crumbs during at least 26 of these 28 years
so i am content to believe them real as of 1976 or maybe 1978
& looking forward to more & fresher data
via whatever aspiring clavoscopist provides it
& i have just been responding to your claim in message 15272
of what you think we have
by telling you i know we once had them but i seriously question if
we still have them
i am not stuck in your fantasy tho
& anyway time will tell
