<div id="ygrps-yiv-1302195000">peter please pardon the previous inadvertent post<br/>
<br/>
the hotmail scrollbar is immediately below the send button<br/>
& my nephews mouse is a little sticky<br/>
<br/>
i was so excited too<br/>
as this is an extremely nice point you bring<br/>
  & whether there are 6 or 5 of them makes no difference at all<br/>
is what it means in practice<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
also peter i would like to commend however belatedly the originality of your <br/>
message 4317 in which you successfully placed not only nls & nlw but also <br/>
nlh in the west indies<br/>
since there was no time to mention it at the time<br/>
<br/>
& it also reminds me that the easternmost point in the usa<br/>
  or use<br/>
by the same conventional definition of east & west longitudes<br/>
actually falls crazily just west of usw & longitude 180<br/>
specifically on semisopochnoi island of the aleutian chain if dry use is <br/>
wanted<br/>
or for wet use in amchitka passage between semisopochnoi & rat island<br/>
  if i remember all that correctly<br/>
tho i do want to check for whether federal or state territorial waters are <br/>
involved<br/>
& for the possibility that both use & usw may actually be meridional lines <br/>
rather than points<br/>
or even a single meridional line for both at long 180<br/>
if semisopochnoi & rat are less than 24nm apart<br/>
<br/>
also from mental maps so not absolutely certain but<br/>
i think only the usa & russia of all the countries in the world have any <br/>
crazy possibility at all of having identical easternmost & westernmost <br/>
points or lines at this critical meridian 180<br/>

&gt;Subject: [BoundaryPoint] Municipalities without inhabitants<br/>

&gt;<br/>
&gt;In France, there are some municipalities that don&#39;t have a single<br/>
&gt;inhabitant! These are some villages that were devastated in WW 1,<br/>
&gt;with no inhabitants left, but the municipalities were never<br/>
&gt;abolished! What this means in practice, I don&#39;t know.<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt;Cf.:<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt;Communes sans habitants : six des sept communes de France ne comptant<br/>
&gt;aucun habitant se trouve dans le p�rim�tre historique du champ de<br/>
&gt;bataille de Verdun : Beaumont-en-Verdunois, Bezonveux, Haumont-pr�s-<br/>
&gt;Samogneux, Louvement-C�te-du-Poivre, Cumi�res-le-Mort-Homme et Fleury-<br/>
&gt;devant-Douaumont.<br/>
