doug since you are now counselling a grain of salt too while apparently also using the words border & boundary interchangeably & since others are also finding this topic interesting let me just sprinkle in my own understanding of these 2 terms both for the sake of the present discussion & also to clarify the earlier one about boundaries & borders the 2 words border & boundary are as you observe practically interchangeable in everyday usage even tho they may differ in a few of their secondary meanings & undertones & associations but in traditional careful usage i think a boundary refers only to a line between 2 things while a border refers predominantly to a line around or at an edge of a single thing this may have no practical consequence in the present imaginary discussion but in the earlier fantastic discussion about apparent border crosses that are not necessarily boundary crosses i think the distinction between boundary & border is worth bearing in mind for it is indeed fully utilized & realized there now the question as to whether border freaks then also qualify as boundary freaks well fortunately that will remain for another day if not also another try pointing phreak outing m --- In BoundaryPoint@y..., "Peter Hering" <hering@m...> wrote: > Interesting link, Doug!! > It opened my eyes to an astonishing solution > on my financial problems:'' > On my last trip to the Middle East, I brought > home a barrel of oil as a souvenir (what else?), > well stored in my garden... > I could offer the US this new oil well - in return > for making Oelstykke (my home town) the 51st > state... > well, Washington?? > all yours > have a nice week > Peter H. > > -------Original Message------- > > From: Doug Murray Productions > Date: Sunday, April 28, 2002 19:42:48 > To: BoundaryPoint@y... > Subject: [BoundaryPoint] Border Move?
