Welcome Craig! 
Another evil Canadian (beware Czech borders!).
 
You know... there should be a list on the site of where we are all from.  I'd love to know how many countries are represented on this site. 
 
Cheers!

Hi BoundaryPointers

I am fascinated by all the archived messages, and I love
spending hours all day and night reading them. If I may
contribute something to this old topic about the alleged African
quadruplet-point (I haven't gone through /all/ the 8000+
messages to see if this comment has been made yet):

I recall reading in the Guinness Book of World Records, back
when it was a book worth reading, that the authors wrote
(paraphrasing) that the borders between Botswana, Namibia,
Zambia and Zimbabwe "merge".

In later editions, the wording changed to the borders "almost
merge".

Did Guinness determine the answer once and for all?

Thanks for all your private replies and welcomes.
