A very valid point. My only suggestion to you is that next time you write out your point using a ball point pen instead of a pointy pencil. It's just safer. Also don't run with scissors, but that's a moot point depending on which way the scissors are pointing.

Now now KH, don't point your own point at him! Pointy pointed pencils can often point out points about points that a pointy ball-pointed pen cannot. My point is...you shouldn't point out the mistakes of others when the point is it wasn't one...in reiteration, pointing out problems with pointy and pointed writing utensils is a point not needed to be pointed out.

Well I must disagree with your point. Surely it is pointless to try to point out the value of points to some one who percieves them as pointless. Furthmore what about those pointless points being pointed out ad infinitum. Surely those points are also pointless, for if they had a point then they would point to the real issue of points. This issue of points can be pointless if you are in one pointed camp, but if you are in the pointless camp, then this whole discussion regarding whether points have a point or are, in fact, pointless becomes pointless.
From the above point, one has to consider the point that this thread about points is pointless or has a point? I for one can see a point to points, but others who are pointless or near pointless may disagree and they do have a point!

It appears that you went straight to the point of being pointless. Or is there a twist? Was the point not having a point? Ah... if a point is gained in a game but no one is there to watch it, is the point really gained?

I believe the point alstergren was trying to make was: "If a point is gained and no one is around to receive it, does the point still have a point?"

Fruitcake wrote:Well if a point is gained when no one was around to receive the point, then surely the point of the question has to be 'was there a point to that point, or even was there a point to the point about the point still having a point. For if there wasn't a point to the point about the point having a point, then any further point about this point is nothing more than a pointing out of this point. Alternatively, the point, like this point, could be pointed out to be pointless.
