<div id="ygrps-yiv-854903884">must be brief today<br/>
so let me just acknowledge gratefully the many very interesting recent <br/>
developments<br/>
especially but not only those of grant & doug<br/>
  tho i cant yet access their most recent yeoman handiworks<br/>
    any clues would be appreciated<br/>
& while i am myself searching today mainly for the southernmost point in <br/>
oregon<br/>
i do want to support what arif says about the usa being an islamic nation<br/>
<br/>
according to the world almanac there are more muslims in the usa than in any <br/>
of the following nations where islam is the chief religion<br/>
libya<br/>
jordan<br/>
lebanon<br/>
kirghizstan<br/>
albania<br/>
bosnia<br/>
brunei<br/>
chad<br/>
comoros<br/>
djibouti<br/>
eritrea<br/>
gambia<br/>
kuweit<br/>
maldives<br/>
mauritania<br/>
western sahara<br/>
oman<br/>
qatar<br/>
sierra leone<br/>
tajikistan<br/>
turkmenistan<br/>
uaemirates<br/>
<br/>
m<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
& another giant way ahead of time<br/>
eratosthenes concluded circa 200 bc that all the seas formed a single huge <br/>
interconnected ocean<br/>
<br/>
of course he was right<br/>
but it took 18 centuries to verify<br/>
<br/>
