I suppose if you log a Sunday driver guy in Germany as being in zone 1 
without double checking by asking something like, "are you in Germany?" you 
pretty much deserve what you have coming.  You can't expect the sponsor to 
regulate common sense or intelligence.

I certainly know what I would do, but that falls under the heading "secrets 
of the trade."

Remember, too, that Randy's comment affects people who don't listen to what 
the other guy is actually transmitting.  You obviously would have had to 
have been listening to what the other guy was transmitting in order to even 
wonder about this.  Which is a good thing.

Listening = good.  Not listening = bad.
