Oh, but I have..I've offered to help with the foreigners' stats, which
BTW, were NEVER, EVER, even remotely
 correct in said publication.
I was approached by Kawika to help with Makushita, which I did with
great joy.

Great- I don't happen to know him, but if Baba knows him, maybe she can
bring it up in passing or on the ground..

No brickbats-just brickfacts, out of sheer disappointment, not spite..

With people like Abe-san, Bandey, Yubi, Stewart Nelson, Rowan Klein,
Kotoseiya and Ken Coller (to name a few..) with their sites and stats,
and Kintaro, Akinomaki, Josh and many, many others who can add the
color, we can really put out a "husharmoota"(as we say in Hebrew..)
publication.. 
But we've been through this before, now haven't we..
