Yes, geographically speaking :-) But if you only consider the nationality of the
authors then InmiChess and Hossa don't count for Austria, because Werner and I
am germans. But you are right. For me it's great to have some friends with the
same hobby which I can contact easily like Alex Kure, Werner Inmann, Chrilly
Donninger (and also you live only some minutes away from me ;). Other
programmers like Peter McKenzie have more problems there.
