<div id="ygrps-yiv-509793056">jesper  this is a great pleasure<br/>
not only your travels & comments themselves<br/>
but the fine presentation too<br/>
& especially the new danish boundary freaks site<br/>
that is wonderful<br/>
<br/>
i spent a lot of time trying to figure that out<br/>
& did indeed get a great deal despite my language gap<br/>
<br/>
but i think those honor boxes at the border are really hysterical<br/>
<br/>
we have them here too but just at the entrance to some state parks<br/>
to hopefully collect some entrance fees without posting a guard<br/>
<br/>
only problem is when everyone realizes the world is really free for all<br/>
<br/>
  but that is an unstoppable idea whose time has almost come anyway<br/>
<br/>
still i think there is enough data in your report to conclude<br/>
  regarding what i was asking peter hering last week<br/>
that the continuing presence of even such a pathetic border control device<br/>
does indicate that this is still a real international border here<br/>
& that it has not quite yet become completely abandoned or utterly unguarded<br/>
  say  like most interstate borders in the usa<br/>
<br/>
hence i think all schengen loop tripoints may still be real tricountry points<br/>
at least for the time being<br/>
<br/>
but do you agree<br/>
or do you think the european union is one country yet<br/>
<br/>
& if not yet  then when<br/>
  & by what future agreement or action<br/>
is really the question of the hour<br/>
<br/>
m<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
ps<br/>
also liked your obelisk<br/>
first real live one reported outside north america<br/>
<br/>
  oh yes  i recall that one on the german postage stamp too<br/>
<br/>
    maybe just a nordic & yankee boundary thing after all<br/>
      but still lots of places yet to be heard from<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
& have confirmed your swaziland tripoint pic is the north twin<br/>
rather than the south<br/>
which you probably already knew<br/>
but i was glad to realize it<br/>
