Re: SV: My Two Cents

I agree with Jesper. BoundaryPoint has become superfluous. Time for
gentle euthenasia. In response to the mysterious BP Owner, if
member(s) had become abusive, then I would concur with their being
banished. Anyone looking for abuse can join a political blog.
Boundaries and their ilk are supposed to be fun!
