Favorite Rikishi Poll Reminder

[Jeffrey Anderson <jeffand@regent.edu>]

Third and next-to-last call for the Favorite Rikishi Poll!  We are up to 94 
returns now, up from 58 last week...almost 1/4 of this listserve!  The 
lurkers are still 50-50 with the contributors.  I still haven't heard from 
our NHK three.  If you're wondering who the first respondents to the poll 
were, it was a three-way tie among myself, Babanoshuzan (good job, Baba), 
and Adam Pawelczyk (getting Europe right in there)!  Also, not everyone is 
answering all the questions.  That's OK.  However, some are putting more 
than one rikishi down for an answer.  I don't know if I should give them 
all equal weighting or count them fractionally.  If so, the Konishiki has 
at least 5/6 of a vote (1/3 for being named as one of three and 1/2 for 
being named one of two)!  Thoughts anyone?  Respond to me privately. 
 However, for others who will be voting, PLEASE list one rikishi per 
answer.  Domo.  Also, on question 3, I have often found the answer to be 
someone different from 1 and 2...that's what I get for trying to pre-guess 
the results!

In order to take part in the poll, please e-mail back to me the section 
between the "cut here" lines.  I'll be  putting out one last call next 
Friday.

Well, off to a father-son retreat with my 16-year-old at a Christian dude 
ranch in the next town.  Giddyup, horsie! (Hmmm...my horse looks like 
Onokuni!) :-) :-)
