but this topic has now forged ahead of time zones & the euro &
airport security & what side of the road to drive on
as our extended tangential rerun leader
still it may be worth pointing out that the borders of many of the
islands that have recently been invoked in the name of parsing
sovereignty dont even exist as such
not to mention their multipoints
