[sumo] [Sumo Movies] Gomen

[Dale Carlson]

Hi all,
I'm sorry, but the time has come. I've been trying to post daily sumo
movies for six or seven years now. It may seem like it's a long time
between basho, but there's a hon-basho 25% of the year. And they
take place very late in my time zone. This means that 25% of the year 
it's hard for me to get enough sleep to go to work and make a living.

I've tried my best. I think it's time for somebody else to take over.
This is hard for me- half of the reason I've kept going is the selfish
motivation that posting makunouchi movies was "my turf", you know?
But if I ever hope to save some retirement money and have a semi-normal
life in the mean time, I have to stop staying up late to make sumo movies.

I'd like to return to being a fan of sumo- not somebody who dreads the 
burden of each upcoming basho. I hope I'll still be accepted as a poster
here.

I really hope some enthusiastic person can take over. I think daily sumo
digests are available via bittorrent sites. You should be able to watch sumo
every day with those.

The sumo movies have been really important to me, so this is hard. Really
hard... 

Thanks for everything,
Dale
