why are manmade works considered unnatural in highpointing
arent they there too
i can understand ok why manmade works shouldnt affect preexising boundaries
but in highpointing we are talking about facts of nature
presumably therefore including human nature
rather than only the creations of man
i mean
why gratuitously expel ourselves from nature in cases where we havent
already expelled ourselves
so i would say not only to run dkh up the flagpole
but to sit on the top of the flagpole as well
& precisely for no other reason than that it is there
the import & translation of this for tripointing is yes of course make all
wetpoints too if you possibly can rather than just ogling them from afar as
if they were flagpole tops
but i know i am an extremist in making these calls
