Someone suggested a while back that you should limit the number
of selections in Sanyaku (5?) and that the remainder of selections
should be from Maegashira.  I think an even more limiting criteria
might be in order, i.e. 1 Yokozuna, 1 Ozeki, 1 Sekiwake, 1 Komosubi,
3 top half Maegashira and 3 bottom half Maegashira.  Under this
type of criteria, I think you could really establish a ranking
system in the Hoshitori that would be based on skill (research)
rather than non rocket scientist choices such as mine this time.

Death of your Web Page and your truly insightful inputs to our 
forum would be a tragedy - peaceful or not.  I had the same feeling
for my simple won/loss page and then received an e-mail that
invigorated me to continue.  Your scanning of photos and Kirishima
page are exellent ideas.  Anything to improve and expand your already
GREAT site would be welcome additions.  However, if you made no
changes or additions at all, it's still great.
Hang in there.
