Subject: AW: AW: [BoundaryPoint] Brendans
second thesis
Any
info I have myself about Baarle? I do have a self-written article that runs
about 100 pages, with pics and maps, all stolen from the web. My interest,
weird as it sounds, is mountain climbing. You may wonder which kinds of
mountains I climbed in Baarle. Actually I am "collecting" all highest points
of each European country, including autonomous regions, colonies (Gibraltar),
enclaves/exclaves, and other unusual political entities - as Baarle and other
places in Europe are concerned, my "climbing" is rather identifying the
highest spot and taking a picture of it. In Baarle I failed so far finding the
highest point in either of the enclaves. And this is the thrill of my writing:
I reflect about the sense and nonsense of mountain climbing, together with the
sense and nonsense of borders.
An
unsolved puzzle to me is still one of the many Baarle enclaves which is said
NOT to belong to anybody, neither Holland, nor Belgium. Doea anybody of you
have precise info where it is located?

Dr Brendan
Whyte is a scholar based in Melbourne,
Australia I believe, who
occasionally contributes to
our discussions here at
BoundaryPoint.
His doctoral thesis centered on the multitude
of
Indian/Bangladeshi exclaves at Cooch Behar.
I am sure the
excellent and top-of-the-line search
function here at Yahoo will help you
find some
messages from Brendan, and with some luck his mail
address.
(As I don't have more than a few days to
spare right now, I'm unable to
assist with the
search... :)
By the way, any information you might
have yourself
about Baarle (or any other exclave for that
matter),
such as maps, treaties, stories, pictures, or anything
else,
you'll be most welcome to share with us here.
Don't worry about sharing
old news, we love it just
the
same.
