of course maestro you must be right<br/>

i have noticed <br/>
tho i forget in which scandinavian countries <br/>
that the municipalities are in practical matters directly under the <br/>
provinces<br/>
meaning they are really tertiary entities<br/>
<br/>
however there are sometimes regional entities mentioned <br/>
intermediate between the municipalities & provinces <br/>
that i believe have historical meaning but no present use<br/>
<br/>
if these latter are allowed as politically real<br/>
then a scandinavian municipal multipoint might actually be quaternary <br/>
rather than tertiary<br/>
<br/>
but i am surprised we havent heard directly from our finnish beepers <br/>
yet on this delicate question<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
on the other hand<br/>
making such distinctions might just be splitting hairs anyway tho<br/>
<br/>
& expecting even anything remotely resembling general homogeneity <br/>
or comparability<br/>
compatibility<br/>
etc <br/>
in the various levels <br/>
would be lunacy anyway</div>
