That's so true! Does my preference to use LDP's say anything about my desire to view each project in its "own little world?" ;o)

I've always appreciated what Mercator had to say about his own map projection.
>“If you wish to sail from one port to another, here is a chart, and a straight line on it, and if you follow this line carefully you will certainly arrive at your destination. But the length of the line may not be correct. You may get there sooner or may not get there as soon as you expected, but you will certainly get there.” Gerardus Mercator, 1569
