Again: Where do you take this knowledge from?

Logic.
OK:
Thesis:
A mage can find his/her body within a relatively short time (with a bit of
luck, of course, but odds are a unexperienced (in SR Terms) Mage will most
likely find it within a few hours).
Antithesis: The World is fragging big and there is no realsitic chance that
a small body in a big town can be stumbled over by accident, especially not
if it's hidden behind anyting you cant look through, and cities are full of
walls.
Synthesis: There is anything which lets yoy track down the body, anything
theastral body can see, sniff, feel, anyway: Follow from the actual position
or the meat bodies last known position to the actual one. There is a track,
something that links the two part belonging to each other. And something
that links through astral spache is (or at the very least: Can be viewed as)
an astral link.
If you don't like this arguments, try another one:
You can make an satral link from anything belonging to the target and dear
to this.
Unless the mage is an sociopath with multiple personalitiy-syndrom and
suicidal tendences, one could surely say that the meat-body
-belongs to the mage and
-is dear to him.

Sorry: Wrong sender's name above; I forgot to change the settings.

Agreed. So each watcher is always linked to every living being.
OK, now we go on...

You can do it with _ritual_ magic. Not ascanning. And following your
thesis(antithesis/synthesis above, everything dear to me is linked to me by
astral bonds. Better hope noone gets confused...

(oh - just as a sidenote: Yes, this mails does contain irony. Did you find
it? :-)

Why is that?

You can _follow_ this link with ritual magic. Rmember: The Question was: Is
there an astral link, not: Why is it so easy for a mage to follow it to it's
own body.
