Re: Olli Lounela's tournament report from IGS's early years (1993)



Michael,

If you had bothered with looking around the IGS site, you would know
it's Olli Lounela.

Look at that sentence and more particularly look at the
conversational tone of the previous concerning posts from those who
took part in it. A couple of Finnish posters pulling my leg about my
spelling of their national names.
It's a bit like pub-chat, nobody bothers much and banter flows
back and forth. I'll never meet those Finns over a pint; still the
Internet lets the chat flow
Then in comes the censorious, "If you had bothered with..."
I don't doubt for a minute that I could have found such a matching
name somewhere in one or other of the GO servers and the odds would
favour that it would have been the correct Olli.
Nevertheless, thank you for the correct spelling of the man's
name. I'll /probably/ get it right next time.
