Dear Greg,

When you reply with an incomplete sentence like this,
it is very helpful if you include the sentence to which
you reply.
In my previous message I find the statement that there
is no way to represent a piece of the sphere in the plane,
so that you can measure with a ruler the angular distances,
using the same scale everywhere on your picture.

For THIS statement, I don't need to read anything, because
this statement is true:-)
If you somehow take the unequal distortion into account, I asked
you to explain how exactly.
If this was addressed in some previous discussion,
I will appreciate if you point the date, time and title.
Alex.
