I have zero idea why I injected a gender change on Lehdonvirta, and to my shame, I believe this is the first article I've written where I've erroneously ascribed he wrong sex to someone! I will be consulting my psychoanalyst on this one, who will probably drag out enough material to publish a case history. Doubtless the fact that "Vili" and "Willy" are both male names, which I then totally repressed and flipped the gender makes me think that it's only a short step to Castration Anxiety. Now the problem remains as to whether I should ask the Editor to change the article - which would then nullify your comment and could be interpreted as "revisionism" - or to leave it as-is and let it stand as a cautionary tale. Thanks for pointing out my spectacular gender-bending mistake. Henceforth I shall keep a sharp eye on my Vili. Well slap me on the head with a dead fish and call me Shirley!

Based on the photo on his website (the url is in your story), Lehdonvirta seems to be not a lass but a strapping lad!
