Yeah, I'm actually the guy that made it harder for everyone by using the
double border. I thought it looked awesome... but it's clearly made it
much harder for future press ops to lock up that block.
I also thought it separated the two different sections of the card well;
since the two blocks are regarding completely different subjects.
As I recall, it took me a ridiculous amount of time to set that double
border. I'm not sure how other people are doing it, but I basically
figured out the inner height of the double border then built my inner
type block separately, eventually bringing into the main block.
In short:
Sorry for making everyone's lives tougher when I set that thing two
years ago.
