I'm not sure who you mean by "you people."  Presumably, it would be the
people on the sumo mailing list.  Of course, you too are a member of the
list, in which case, "you people" means "we."

As for what to call the rikishi, I have taken no stand on this.  I find your
position quite amusing, however.

I'm afraid that their golf season will begin right around the time the NHL
