This reminded me that I want to finish reading the book 'How the States Got Their Shapes.' http://amzn.to/16zBxBo There are some crazy reasons some states have their strange borders.

It doesn't matter to me in this case. The book is relevant to the discussion and the poster is a human.

But I can certainly understand some people here may want to draw a line in the sand (to use a metaphor from the linked book's description) to prevent spam.
