 </span></blockquote>ok thanx<br/>
so evidently we are talking more like 10km than 5km of straight <br/>
border there<br/>
which will be much harder to surpass even on plru<br/>
<br/>
& i have to wonder then if it doesnt just boil down to a question of <br/>
whether 3 or more monuments in a row can ever be considered <br/>
perfectly straight <br/>
when we know they must always deflect off of one another by at <br/>
least a few mils of a second of arc<br/>
just owing to limitations of survey accuracy <br/>
<br/>
but since caus & egly were specifically mentioned as straight<br/>
i think any series of practically straight monuments would qualify<br/>
<br/>
& this would make plru look pretty good in places i think<br/>
<br/>
but it is jespers question<br/>
& his to decide which chains of practically straight monuments <br/>
are acceptably sober <br/>
& which too tipsy to qualify<br/>
<br/>
secondly <br/>
this single clean cut of the curonian neck & beyond<br/>
which i think you are indicating<br/>
also produces an appreciably large straight fraction of all ltru<br/>
suggesting kevins interpretation was correct<br/>
<br/>
in that event<br/>
i cant help suggesting penon de velez de la gomera <br/>
with its perfect single cut neck as entire border<br/>
even tho i distinctly recall the question was only about europe<br/>
if indeed it was the question</div>
