SV: SV: My Two Cents

I really don’t hope anybody want to delete or close BoundaryPoint.

 

It’s our “childhood memories” within our border universe.

Why would you want to delete BoundaryPoint from the historical record?  It contains a wealth of information.  If you don't wish to use BoundaryPoint, simply don't use it.  There are those of us who do.

I agree with Jesper. BoundaryPoint has become superfluous. Time for

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!
