LimitationsInteresting list. It should probably be stated that this is limited to mountains with 2000 feet of prominence, with a P. Without that limitation, the dominance, with a D, list would be an endless list of offshore island highpoints.
Also, this is not a U.S. list--it's a list for the contiguous U.S., excluding Alaska and Hawaii. I believe Hawaii would add 6 to the list and Alaska and Alaska several dozen (there are a lot of P2000 island highpoints in Alaska, and then there'd be a number of P2000 mainland peaks in the 90s for dominance).

Re: LimitationsThose are all good points. I think I'll rename the page, because adding Alaska, particularly the southeastern islands and the Aleutians, would be a real pain, as would adding all sub-2000' peaks. Thanks for your contribution.
