 To echo Moti, I think an excellent barometer of the success of the basho is its halflife:Simply measure how much info and comment, for how long, flows through this ML after the basho ends.There have been times when we've fallen almost silent during the six week hiatus.This time we have a profusion of analyses, photos, statistics, news, gossip, and glee.Is interest in sumo increasing?  Was the finish exciting enough for you?I just provided an interview to the San Francisco Daily Journal (the local legal newspaper!) -- that well known compendium of essential sumo news -- including comments on Chiyo's 3-win day (of course) and Miyabiyama's hair and callus, skipping the Hanada soaps, and emphasizing the usefulness in real life (and legal practice) of the basic principles: (a) Keep moving forward, and (b) Keep doing your sumo.  We'll see what the printed word looks like!Chuck Finberg (Keeper of the Upside/Down Hoshitori, in which the exalted former yokozuna Rowinohana is merely an Ozeki)
