I'm a quarter-Frisian as well as a Holsteiner. And whatever Andy's definition: Holsteiners are not Prussians, even though the Prussians occupied our country in 1866! (After ridding us of the Danes who, incidentally, are much more easy-going and therefore lost the fight).

Sorry to everybody for thread-creep. I should have remembered Lord Palmerston's(?) words: "There are only two people in the world who know what the Schleswig-Holstein question is about - and the other one's dead!"
