<div id="ygrps-yiv-105683272">Dear all,<br/>
<br/>
Christmas - the feast of love. All-encompassing.<br/>
<br/>
Aletheiak was the most fervent contributor this year. Furious. He deserves<br/>
our  Christmas gift.<br/>
<br/>
But what?<br/>
<br/>
A tripoint, of course!<br/>
<br/>
But there is a dilemma: As we have learned in geometry, a point remains a<br/>
point, even in its trifoldedness. A point is inherently a nullity. How can<br/>
we make a less pointless gift to Aletheiak? Something meaningful?<br/>
<br/>
Maybe if we just concede that we sometimes, rarely enough, have enjoyed his<br/>
elaborations, even if often the time was not worth reading, and the online<br/>
fees due to pull in his coiled thoughts surpassed our budgets. At last,<br/>
Aletheiak had been talking to himself, multi-dimensionally.<br/>
<br/>
I&#39;m sure you all join me in wishing Aletheiak the breakthrough to the real<br/>
point in life: Why are we on this Earth? Pointless tumbling?<br/>
