  I have to say that this is some good news, well at least for all of us who really want to see Sumo World make it. All I think most of the subscribers have wanted, well what few their are left, has been straight talk and the truth. Those two things have been lacking for quite a long time. I want Sumo World to be successful because it is the only English language choice some of us have. I know we have a lot of information online and I greatly appreciate it but I like to have things on paper. Maybe I need a security blanket or something.... If their was another choice available, I would already have a subscription. Since their is not, I will subscribe again. But ONLY AFTER MY OLD SUBSCRIPTION is finally fulfilled. I also have some back issues that I paid for and never received as well.....
