I think it's just as likely that the PMs just didn't want people bursting into some poor old lady's living room asking about bees and Halo 2 release dates and stuff.

Following up to my last topic. Made an account.

Will edit this post if I find anything out.

I tend to go along with this theory though, that the PMs wouldn't have used GPS coordinates as clues if they didn't want us noticing something in the environment. (It may be a wait til the 24th thing, or not.) But I think they would have done something else, if it was just a distance thing. (for one, they could have been spread across the globe, instead of just in the U.S. ... we'd even have precedent with Dana's blog as a guide.)

No, I think the physical space itself is relevant, either for a word puzzle, some commonality, or something yet to happen. And while a lot of stuff has been said about Microsoft/Bungie/whoever not speding so much money to scout these locations, I think that's exactly why they're all located in the United States. I know MS is omnipresent and all Wink

, but at the same time, I do think they have a lot more offices scattered throughout the US than anywhere else. So, while I don't think it's conclusive or anything, I really do think that these locations are/will be personally visited and chosen for some specific purpose that was not just distances and such. I DO NOT, HOWEVER, BELIEVE IT WOULD BE A DEMO OR ANYTHING. That's just absurd, and has been flat-out denied already by those who have the power to make such statements.

The only thing I can come up with using all the tools and hints we have, doesn't really make sense, and is probably trout anyways. What I was thinking is if we have the term axons on the page, then these points could be nerves coming out from somewhere. Then we also have the distancing tool Dana used from her blogger. What I was thinking is to put those to things together and pinpoint the location that would seem likely that all these points were coming from. But taking a look at the map it doesn't really seem like thats possible considering these points are all over the place. But if there is a way to do it I think it would make some sense. Melissa may not be in Dana's computer afterall, or maybe that site would be where something else is, or where she is moving to. I'm really trying my hardest, honestly.
