if not also not taking his name in vain<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
in fairness he said signs not markers in rule 2<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
& signs of a border do inform about it without necessarily marking it<br/>
<br/>
so i think he only means it would be foolish to mistake a sign for a marker<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
& i agree a map should be accurate too<br/>

&gt; &gt; One has to ask about the purpose of a map, given what the results <br/>
<br/>
&gt; are <br/>
<br/>
&gt; &gt; of these last messages about Busingen.  It seems a border stone on <br/>
<br/>
&gt; the <br/>
<br/>
&gt; &gt; south side of a road marks a point in the middle of a road.  If a <br/>
<br/>
&gt; map <br/>
<br/>
&gt; &gt; is to show physical characteristics of a site, then the actual <br/>
<br/>
&gt; &gt; placement of the border stone is what should be shown - but if the <br/>
<br/>
&gt; &gt; border it represents is in the middle of a road, then the border <br/>
<br/>
&gt; &gt; shown on a map should not merely be a &quot;connect the dots&quot; <br/>
<br/>
&gt; exercize... <br/>
<br/>
&gt; &gt; the border should be shown slightly north of the marker... unless <br/>
<br/>
&gt; of <br/>
<br/>
&gt; &gt; course you choose the metal plate in the street and not the stone <br/>
<br/>
&gt; &gt; marker as the item to show on the map... or maybe one should show <br/>
<br/>
&gt; &gt; both.  <br/>
<br/>
&gt; <br/>
<br/>
&gt; Hear, hear. Rule one I can live with. You can&#39;t expect locals to know <br/>
<br/>
&gt; everything about the place they live in. Rules no. 2 and 3 <br/>
<br/>
&gt; (inaccurate maps & markers) are inexcusable. Of course, with maps, <br/>
<br/>
&gt; scale is always an issue, but when scale allows accuracy, a map <br/>
<br/>
&gt; should be accurate. Period.<br/>
