Favorite Rikishi Pool

[Jeffrey anderson <jeffand@regent.edu>]

OK, everyone, I've been waiting months to bring forth this rather 
scientific poll to the listserve between bashos.  Now is the time.  For the 
next three weeks, I will be running a favorite rikioshi poll. Simply e-mail 
your responses to me of the five questions below.  I will tabulate the 
results (questions four and five are the "scientific" part of the poll - my 
old prof from COM600 Media Research and Writing would love it!) and post 
them to the list.  There are allegedly over 400 sumo fans on this list, so 
let's hear from the lurkers!  MAKE SURE THAT YOU E-MAIL TO ME AND NOT THE 
LIST!  Sorry for shouting.  Thanks.

3. Who is your favorite rikishi of all time (which will most probably be #1 
or #2 above)?

4. What is your country of birth?

5. What is your age parameter?  0-19, 20-39, 40-59, 60+  (choose one)

Thanks everyone!  I'll put out a reminder of this each week up to October 
23 and will get the results to you the last week of October.

Best regards,
