yes indeed barry you are quite right of course
& yet at the same time let me take this opportunity to
say
& not at all pointedly to you yourself but in general
the present series of excursions here at boundarypoint
is still missing the point of boundarypoint
which is
in a nutshell
seeking finding researching etc geopolitical m u l t
i p o i n t s
or
in somewhat less of a nutshell but still quite clearly
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BoundaryPoint/
for it is around this specific & especial interest &
quest that our discussions here revolve
or rather were intended to revolve
& indeed these discussions
even at their best & most focussed
sometimes do & must necessarily range very broadly
no doubt about it
just like it says in the our introductory blurb
& they may even seem quite miscellaneous &
unprincipled & undisciplined
until one grasps the subtlety & nicety of what they
are in fact all about
which is to serve & support & cultivate our stated
focal purpose
of multipointing
for it would make no sense at all to set up a target &
then deliberately go about missing it
& because we have found that the more one misses the
point
the more one continues to miss it
& ultimately doesnt even notice it at all
we have taken the care of deliberately creating
another bp place too
where all tangential & centrigugal interests & goals
such as this one are entirely welcome & indeed
solicited
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/borderpoint/
so there really shouldnt be any confusion at this
point
but if anyone still isnt clear or sure
let me put it differently
boundarypoint is not about general education &
information
isnt that lovely
but rather about a specifically focussed pursuit
toward a unique & clearly stated target
& pursuing general education & information here
as much fun & value as that may well involve
not only misses but discredits & dishonors this target
shots on goal are what we are about here
& for all other interests we have even made sure that
you
our dear & valued members
have other options too
