suspect that the list is intended as a

lists floating around, but (you) may well
be serious.

Good
analysis, M. The whole idea started as a
tongue-in-cheek response to a forum
thread on lists. But by the time I
clicked on the submit button, I was
already thinking to myself, "This
isn't a bad idea." I got some
encouraging responses to my post and so I
was off and running. The project is a
perfect fit with my obsessive-compulsive
disorder.

Love your list concept.
But please note: rule number one, second
line...there is no apostrophe in this
usage of "its." The apostrophe
is only used in a contrction, i.e. "it's
a shame so many people insist on putting
an apostrophe in the possessive 'its.'"

I gotta thank
you big time, man. As a newsletter editor,
I'm supposed to know this stuff. I do
know this stuff. I just plain messed up.
I'll get right on it.

Two peaks that come to mind for the
LPNP are Truman and Little Monroe. Truman
is the bump on Franconia ridge between
Lafayette and Lincoln. It is
eminently qualified to be a LPNP in all
respects but that it may never had made
it to a map. The Waterman's
referred to it in their writing.
Near as I can tell it's been known as
Truman for 30 - 40 years maybe longer.
Again I've always heard the southern peak
of Monroe referred to as Little Monroe
but I'll have to find that on a map as
well.
stopher responds:
Trailwrights
calls your (and the Watermans') Truman
"North Lincoln". I've heard the
lump north of Lafayette referred to as
"North Lafayette". I refer to
the ledge at the top of Lawrence as
"Stopher's Mountain". Show me
the map!

The Moosilauke map in the DOC guide
shows three named summits south of
Waternomee: Mt. Braley (3760'), Mt.
Kirkham (3341', just off the Al Merrill
Loop), and Sayre Peak (3140'). I believe
they're all named after DOC members.
stopher responds:
Thanks, Mr. S.
Now that's some valuable information.

It takes a lot
of nerve to include your trash with the
likes of Whitman, Millay and Stevenson.
You must be totally full of yourself.
stopher responds:
Yes, I am. I'm a
phreakin literary genius!
