[sumo] The World's Only TRUE SUMO FAN

[Magnus Berg <magnus.rie@swipnet.se>]

Oh, Stephan. Can't you see nothing you write will affect us? You're just
a foul breeze in the cybernet universe (or whatever). But I think it's
interesting that you constantly contradict yourself. People who think
they're better than others are horrible - yet, you are the only TRUE
SUMO FAN on this list. People who take SUMO too seriously are laughable,
yet SUMO IS THE WORLD? Nothing anyone writes affects you in the least,
but you still bother to reply, usually vehemently, to each and every
mail sent concerning you (and many that are not). And if nothing really
matters, why do you always go all out to attack those who enjoy other
aspects of SUMOTAINMENT than yourself? I could go on and on with
examples, but why bother when nothing anyone writes matters? 

And to contradict myself completely, I still say that having you on the
list certainly has spiced things up in a refreshing way. But I know that
means nothing to you. In fact, you could prove that nothing written
affects you by NOT replying to this mail. Now, let's get back to
discussing SUMO!!! How about that Asashoryu, eh?

Go, KINKAIYAMA!

Maguroyama the dullard
off to Henka Bar & Grill for a quick yorikiri sandwich and a Dulka Beer
