yes indeed & i have always deferred & will continue to defer to both of you & to everyone else here in all discussions of functionality since my own assumption is that we have been focusing primarily here upon the realities of the boundaries themselves & have been talking by our own deliberate choice mainly about the boundary lines per se & the shapes they enclose & most especially about the liveliest points upon the boundaries & hence primarily about the geometry & topology of all these things rather than necessarily about how they may or may not function or how they may or may not affect people or what to do or not do about a dead body found upon them or what happens or doesnt happen to the boundaries themselves when they die etc etc etc & that any discussion of functionality etc etc is altho occasionally interesting & even lively nevertheless emphatically off topic or at least off what i personally had understood the topic & purpose & actual life of the list was from my readings of its various descriptions & there you have the reason grant for my evidently mistaken surmise of your meaning above because i imagined you were talking & playing straight bp too as you usually do

& i would add tho not to you grant nor anyone in particular but only because i am already ranting & raving that just because we are extremely accepting & allowing & embracing of everyone & their every idea of what the list might be about doesnt mean that the list isnt about what it says it is about so everybody please just make mine a penenclave or better yet a clavicle & you will never mistake me for being functional
