all right, thomas. NO dutch-jokes to you, OK?
must honestly say, here in horizontal "black-red-yellow", neither dutch nor belgium is worth a discussion. in papers
we know the buffer-phase before and at WW2, but after that, ....
nothing! only frieten, choclate and (dutch) dope for the youngsters...
you're right. country-building failed everywhere. look at israel, serbo-kroatia, and - also - to belgium. separate peoples in one country won't work - (_even_ in south germ.)
will take some time, to read/research/investigate your situation. I won't babble about things, i really don'tknow.
ps: postings in "the-belgium-NON-dutch-version" are no problem for me... - if you don't mind i'm answering in english
tot gauw, ka-jott
(there are enough problems in the world besides language/speech!) :tongue:
