more observations for the communities detectives:inner pair of control point splines-1.) after selecting the three tangent circle tool and moving the cursor over the center circle, the "on" symbol appears AND can be moved around the complete circumference of the circle with the cursor.
2.) after selecting the tangent point for the center circle (ie: it's known) and moving the cursor over the control point spline on the right (ie: the original), the "on" symbol appears at approximately the 4 o'clock location and CAN NOT be moved (ie: the "on" symbol will not follow the cursor around the perimeter of the control point spline).
3.) after selecting the tangent point for the center circle (ie: it's known) and the control point spline on the right and moving the cursor over the control point spline on the left (ie: the copy via Polar Duplicate), the "on" symbol appears at approximately the 10 o'clock location (ie: the expected location given the 4 o'clock experience with the original) and CAN NOT be moved (ie: the "on" symbol will not follow the cursor around the perimeter of the control point spline).
4.) selecting a point on the control point spline on the left yields the
unwanted "inner solution" circle.

will follow the cursor on the bottom half of the control point spline.

unwanted "inner solution" circle.
