I have had points, like 2:463/702.160 and then 2:463/131.160
But then later I became a Boss and got my own Node address 2:463/1161

I started as a point but after couple of years I become a node with a few points (mainly friends and family).

I always knew the "point" was there, but never saw it actually used in my travels (..which finished in '90 or '91). I seem to recall the node lists at some point didn't have decimals, but perhaps my recollection is inaccurate.
Were you all node sysops, or did your region just not have that last part — the point?
