<div id="ygrps-yiv-357111591">thinking the american ibc commissioner kyle hipsley in<br/>
dc had fallen asleep on our question<br/>
i phoned his canadian counterpart al arseneault in<br/>
ottawa with the same question this morning<br/>
& had just finished emailing kyle a confirmation copy<br/>
of my question along with hughs red flagged topo maps<br/>
<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://article.gmane.org/gmane.culture.discuss.boundary-point/8305">http://article.gmane.org/gmane.culture.discuss.boundary-point/8305</a><br/>
when al called back<br/>
hahahaha<br/>
so i am amazed to have actually just spoken with both<br/>
commishes almost simultaneously<br/>
<br/>
& tho al will take some time to answer<br/>
kyle says flat out <br/>
& already quite convincingly <br/>
that canada is right & the usa wrong in their<br/>
depictions here<br/>
<br/>
& that the ellicott monument is indeed under water now<br/>
just where the ibc says it is here in line 2<br/>

<br/>
so evidently chief silent dog & i were mistaken to<br/>
believe he saw the 1817 ellicott monument thru the<br/>
veggies on the bank there at the end of the 45th<br/>
parallel sector<br/>
<br/>
what he saw there was actually an interpolated 1902<br/>
cany rock <br/>
according to kyles description<br/>
for as the monument numbering sequence also indicates<br/>
the 45th parallel sector was marked from east to west<br/>
thru st regis<br/>
& reached the st lawrence with only about a 2 second<br/>
error<br/>
as compared with the 4 second error of its submerged<br/>
predecessor<br/>
<br/>
hence the extra slight jog from the bank to the sw<br/>
before the turn to the nw<br/>
<br/>
so i am already mighty well satisfied by that<br/>
& tho it will still be interesting to see what al says<br/>
i am racing forward to what i believe will be the<br/>
final recomputation for the best available nyonqc<br/>
but just had to report in with this fantastic news<br/>
first <br/>
while my head is still reeling with it<br/>
