this & its various other ambiguities are why i avoid using that

yes of course you can
but why actually say it

& what does it mean

& can you relate it to any of the discussion

forgive me
i am not trying to be cloudy
& i see lowell thinks he may see & agree with this
so i will at least stand by for clearance
but this too makes no sense to me

if you simply move across the quadripoint position
wherever it is actually located
you are in fact partly reaching one part of austria before fully
leaving the other
& it is impossible not to do so

& you are especially reaching one part of germany without
leaving the other
since germany has only one contiguous part there anyway by any
definition
