Well, in my humble opinion this has to be differentiated a bit. I
think most people - I would venture to say, the overwhelming
majority, i.e. everybody but you - would like to allow discussions
about other aspects of boundaries, as well. Other, that is, than just
multipoints. I do not see why we can't include discussions about
enclaves, unusual boundaries, microstates et al. This obviously
should not mean that we have no topic at all.

Well, I think there is a difference between off-topic conversations
and those on illegal issues, that's all I wanted to state. If this
strange conversation with Herr/Frau "deutsche_kilr" had continued,
who knows where it would have lead? I do not want to know about such
activity, as this would make me ipso facto complicit which I
obviously want to avoid.

I do not understand this question, please use clearer English!
Proper punctuation often helps, by the way.

I do not think that anyone should regard drug smuggling
as "innocent", not even questions about it. I do not see why we need
somebody like this on bp, I must admit.

Obviously, I will not go into discussions about whether drug laws are
sensible or not, so I will take up your suggestion and will not give
this another thought.

Ditto.
By the way - Mike, you yourself are very clever, too. Too clever, in
fact, for me to believe your not infrequent claims that you do not
understand various postings by different bp for lack of clarity. Why
not be a bit more gracious, especially with those whose first
language is not English?

All the best & Merry Christmas,

Anton


PS: Btw, if, by calling yourself "aletheia kallos" you mean the
phrase "beautiful truth" in Ancient Greek, may I correct your
grammar? The spelling should be "aletheia kalle", as aletheia - truth
is feminine, and the feminine first person singular of the adjective
kallos is "kalle" (pronounced kuh-LAY).
