[sumo] [Off-topic] Great posters of the past (was Number of posts)

[Robert Brown]

John is right, technically.  These elders of the list
still post the perfunctory results, but no longer
provide insights or observations to enlighten those of
us with lesser knowledge.  Alexander still posts
Hoshitori game results, but quit the daily results of
the basho.  

Also missing from the list is Ken Crouch (aka Kintaro)
who, for a couple of years, posted his daily musings
during each basho to the delight of his 6 fans.  Less
than four full basho would put his total over 50.  I
have 31 in my very limited archive.  We also have not
heard from our former list "director," Chris Basten,
since he turned list management over to Joe.  A couple
of other frequent posters not included are Achim
Pawelczyk and RJ Friedman.
