Robert's banzuke game

[oliver@lsi.melco.co.jp (Hans-Oliver Joachim)]

Hi to all sumoholics, sumaniacs, or whatever name you prefer :-) 

It seems that many of you folks are eagerly waiting for Robert's 
"guess the banzuke game". In fact, it's been a nice idea to fill the
 between-basho gap.

The more I am sorry to disappoint you in a way. 

The bad message is: Robert left Japan last week  :-(

The good one is: He's only on vacation for two and a half weeks
or so, back home in Germany, with his wife and baby. 
Sure, he will be back soon  :-)
 
(BTW, I'm a friend of Robert's and my desk is next door to his. 
I've been following the posts on this list silently for a while and 
I do regret that my first message isn't a particularly terrific one.)

Well, I guess, it's going to be a bit tight for the banzuke game 
after Robert's return. And a couple of days later (end of April), 
there will be the 'Golden Week' here in Japan, which means
that the company is closed and our mail server will be most
likely shut down for a while.

So, either the whole thing has to be skipped this time, or we go ahead
and fill Robert's mail box in advance hoping he can still manage it after 
he's back. I would take the part of persuading him to consider this an 
honor for him and his game (Hope I can bear the consequences *-| )

After all, it's his decision then, anyway.
Any ideas or opinions?
