I'm not attacking you; I'm trying to explain that VFR pilots don't have to use waypoints on a FIR boundary, of which there are surprisingly few. I'm a rotary pilot and frequently cross the channel from private sites all over the South East. My routes touch a waypoint that happens to be on the FIR boundary so rarely, I don't even bother looking - why should I? I cross the FIR boundary at any one of a thousand different points, as I'm sure fixed wing pilots will do from their private strips (and airfields for that matter).
My point is that the vast majority of VFR pilots crossing the channel will use the point they cross the FIR boundary as the reference point for the EET details. You indicated that you never use this, but always a waypoint instead. I still don't understand why, but wanted to clear up the confusion you may have caused.
Oh, and I use Sky Demon for flight planning. Mostly.
