Max, I don't think I am superior at all. I would consider myself an average controller with much to learn. But since you've asked my opinion in this instance, I would not use any separation as it's not controlled airspace at that time. I agree that if it was airspace that required 5 miles I would not use less than that. If it were airspace that required 3 miles I would not use less than that. My simple request was that Boree clarify what type of airspace he was talking about. I just don't think he should have left it at, no controller would ever use less than 5 miles, when reality is that it is used every day in many ways.
As far as sounding superior, you're a bit hoity toity aren't you, asking me to fix my syntax when I type 'the' instead of 'that'.
Get of your high horse.
