<div id="ygrps-yiv-999392369">now that our abilities to create & file & assemble things have been so amply <br/>
demonstrated<br/>
i wonder if this isnt the time to think again & more together about what if <br/>
anything we might wish deliberately to undertake together<br/>
whether only as our legacy of & monumentation to purest frivolity<br/>
or for some other purposes as well<br/>
<br/>
for example<br/>
earlier there was some consensus about collecting photos & accounts of <br/>
visits to all the tricountry or multisovereign points in the world<br/>
  an encyclopedia of the world class if you will<br/>
& now if one of our computer giants cwould simply index rig our present <br/>
filing system to accommodate us<br/>
we would already be well on our way to achieving completion of this <br/>
previously expressed objective<br/>
<br/>
but if the same giant or a different giant also rigged our file <br/>
hierarchically<br/>
we might in the same swell foop be even farther along on our way to creating <br/>
an encyclopedia of all the lower classes of the multipoints as well<br/>
<br/>
thus any reported visit to a multipoint on any level anywhere in the world <br/>
might then be easily filed & retrieved in a single searchable system<br/>
<br/>
of course i have no idea what i am talking about technically here<br/>
but only the sense at this point that if there were a will to do something <br/>
like this here there might easily also be a way<br/>
<br/>
too i have no idea what else there might be a reason or a will to <br/>
deliberately cocreate together<br/>
for example combining all boundaries in the world into the same multipoint <br/>
storage system<br/>
&or even all claves in the world<br/>
<br/>
but again only as an example<br/>
one thing i myself am particularly keen on creating<br/>
  & tho it stretches the original concept of world class pointing book<br/>
    i think it would be fun & contagious<br/>
is a directorate of all the heroes & giants in the arena<br/>
so for example you would be able to see at a glance how many & which points <br/>
each giant may claim to have visited<br/>
& when<br/>
& what class each of the visits was<br/>
etc<br/>
etc<br/>
<br/>
& if we could get a sense of what sorts of things others might be keen on <br/>
creating & combining with such a system<br/>
perhaps there is a megagenius or several about who could easily whip up such <br/>
a playground jungle gym er facility for us all to enjoy<br/>
<br/>
of course any such creation might also be designed to pick up where our <br/>
present searchability leaves off<br/>
& to be multiflexible & adaptable to future growth<br/>
<br/>
so like what if there was someone who really felt strongly about some <br/>
previously unrecognized boundary pointing or try pointing area<br/>
like say my river systems or hot springs or palindromes<br/>
or gregg & brians dry extremities<br/>
or on another hand jacks long anticipated opus on the tertiary megapoints of <br/>
the usa<br/>
<br/>
or what if we wanted to add new features or incorporate extant features <br/>
already on file here<br/>
like say peters lists of boundary lengths<br/>
or grants lists of territorial entities & perforations<br/>
or my or anyone elses national punctoscopies<br/>
or whatever<br/>
<br/>
so in sum my question for everyone is<br/>
what kind of a dream machine if any is now possible &or desirable<br/>
<br/>
