it is enormous to see my name in big letters<br/>
<br/>
& also to share my corollary to your rule 3 that states<br/>
<br/>
borders are almost always at the very edges of maps <br/>
<br/>
& multipoints are almost always at the very corners<br/>
<br/>
so pointers are usually more ignorant than bounders<br/>

&gt; Just to avoid confusion abouth the GCEBE border rules, here is the list<br/>
<br/>
&gt; <br/>
<br/>
&gt; 1) The locals don&#39;t know.<br/>
<br/>
&gt; This rule was made on GCEBE day 0, when we picked Harry and Rolf up in Flensburg, Germany. Peter asked a Danish border officer about a location of a border marker and they didn&#39;t know. Asking some boat men at border marker 1, about number 2 they had no idea. Throughout the trip this rule was mostly proven right. Some young kids at athusi was showing us the road on the bikes, but further on the road they changed their minds and we turned around. I think actully Michael Donner made up rule number 1 long before GCEBE.<br/>
<br/>
&gt; <br/>
<br/>
&gt; 2) The signs don&#39;t mark the border<br/>
<br/>
&gt; I though for many years that signs were marking border, but it is not true. This rule is made on day 1, when we crossed to Sweden and shopped at the signs not founding the markers. Throughout many signs were off the borders.<br/>
<br/>
&gt; <br/>
<br/>
&gt; 3) Maps are not made for border freaks.<br/>
<br/>
&gt; Time after time, even with good maps the exact location of a border is not sure. One example is befrlu, but also a salient triangle at Pamhagen, AT. </span></blockquote></div>
