first let me congratulate you peter for inserting this remarkable tripoint into the very teeth & midst of the most riotous orgy of irrelevancy we have yet enjoyed here at bp & let me take this opportunity to congratulate & further incite the rioters as well
there is nothing like a good free for all
but your unusual find is probably the first modern ghost tricountry point in our collection & it betokens as well the fairly imminent demise of all the other west european tricountry points in similar unions & reunions
yes for it sure looks like nearly all our gcebe tricountry points for example & even some geebes could soon be similarly demoted or moreso even while discerning the moment of their transition may not be so easy as in the present case
& like you are giving us a peek into the future of european tripointing here as well as a taste of the present of american tristate pointing
whether we are trending in the general direction of more or fewer tricountry points worldwide is an interesting speculation too

also the pic on your companion tripoint post seems to have gotten lost
