good day all,
seems everyone has given their opinion
on sumo world and the hopes for a better web-based replacement. here's
mine:
although i think a home-grown web mag
will give more info and accurate info, it will never replace a good paper
mag. i like something i can take with me, read on the train, check out
good pix, keep in my office reception area for some new potential fan to
pick up. the interviews in sumo world were decent. i simply do not
have the time, nor want to take the time to plop myself in front of a computer
more than i already am. the paper mag, as average as it is, gives me some
relief. for these reasons, i will continue to buy sumo world as long as it
exists.

For years, there has been
something about Sumo publications that left me, well, unsatisfied.
I want DIRT too! If the virtual Sumozine takes off, I hope someone
can "dish the dirt." And I don't mean who was promoted to what and what
tassel he wears. Like, does Tochiazuma live with Mom and dad, or in the
heya, or does he have a squeeze the goes home to. And what kind of
car does he drive to work now that he has his own parking space.
And what does his date call him? Tochiazuma or his real
name? I could go on for hours with intimate questions that are
absolutely none of my business. Maybe we need to form a "we love
secular sumo" sub-branch of the list.
