Michael wrote that a prior message led to this question in his mind:<br/>
&quot;...which manmade segments are NOT straight?&quot;.  Len in turn asked his<br/>

question encompasses only a portion of the universe of border creators.   <br/>

made. But, hey, as long as we&#39;re exploring the manmade ones...<br/>
