I agree 100% with John on this point! One of the ex-sumo world writers will
post a message with some veiled insult that only the insiders at the
magazine
know what it's all about. Then someone else from the magazine will write
back
and the fight is on! It would be nice if y'all would take it and your
hatred
for one another off the list! But NO! It's too much fun to insult and
embarrass
someone in public (right Tom and Doreen?). I lurk because I don't have the
time or energy to write all the time. But I do enjoy the writings of the
others
on the list! I only post something when someone is saying what a great guy
silent clyde is. I asked when this will end but It will not stop as long as
there
are people standing up for silent clyde. Tom this isn't about money it's
about
obligation to fulfill a contractual agreement!

What are you talking about Tom? Do you know that the rest of us don't?
Tom Quin wrote<< The Hutches School has only one program -- writing>>
Tom it's a shame that Hutches does not teach reading! Let me try to explain
my offer to you.
I offered to bet you $70 that I would not get 2 years of sumo world.
Tom Quin wrote<< I'LL return your money,>>
I don't want your money! I want what I paid for! If you would like to
accept
and concede the bet at the same time that is up to you! If so I'll give you
the address where you can send my winnings!
Tom Quin wrote<<Seventy bucks? I spent that much Friday night in a
second-rate izakaiya on a few beers and some chicken snacks.
HOW NICE FOR YOU! BRAGGART!!
I have never in my life spent $70 on a meal let alone a snack! Sumo is one
of
the only "luxuries" I have. FYI over 1 billion people don't have clean
water
and get by on less than $1 US a day. Something to think about next time
you're having a $70 snack!
Tom Quin wrote<< and we'll probably have dinner soon.>>
GOOD! Get him to pay and consider it my treat!
Tom Quin wrote<< He hasn't talked to me in months, althopugh I spoke to him
last week>>
Sounds like silent clyde, you talk--he doesn't.
Tom Quin wrote<< I really feel sorry for someone who has so little going
in
their life that they have to get so bent about a measly 70 bucks.
You do not know me or what's going on in my life but where is that
compassion
that you only seem to have for silent clyde?
I've saved the best (worst) for last.
Tom Quin wrote<<Clyde is much more like someone that has Alzheimers than a
regular guy.>>
Tom- HOW @#%#@*& DARE YOU! Comparing silent clyde to someone with
Alzheimer's, HOW LOW WILL YOU GO TOM?
My great grandmother had Alzheimer's and lived with my family off and on
for
the last 10 years of her life. My grandmother died from this HORRIBLE
disease
2 years ago. My sisters, my mother and I took care of her at home the last
years of her life. She spent the last four weeks, at home, in a coma with
her
eyes wide open staring at the ceiling. We had to put drops in her eyes to
keep
them from drying out. Without going into the details (this is bringing tear
to
my eyes right now), the drops were the easiest part of caring for her. Now
I
spend any extra money I have to help my mother, who has lupus, with her
bills.
She also has cancer and is getting chemo and cannot afford the co-payments!
Her medical bills are hundreds of dollars a month. $70 will pay for about 8
days
of the meds. she needs for her eyes. You probably don't believe me but if
you're so crass as to ask for Doctors' name and address's or an obit on my
grandmother I can send them to you off list.
So rich Tom how about a little compassion for the rest of the people in the
world? Because not everyone leads a charmed life of luxury.
And how about that bet?
Now back to lurking

Tom do mean Rush Limbaugh? Everyone knows that Rush has been a ranting and
