Hello Wilfred,

This is /exactly/ what I said:

"You can't (or shouldn't) be able to poll a point, unless you went out of your
way to setup a direct connection with it. However, that would defeat the
purpose of that system being a point."

For the record, I didn't say "can only," or any sort of "fact without
exceptions." As a matter of fact, that little bit of what I wrote above covers
everything you tried to correct me on, in a much shorter sentence.

Anyway, there's no point in arguing. Thanks for the added tips. 

Regards,
Nick
