[sumo] [off topic] My public apology to Moti

[Jezz]

As many people know, this mailing list used to be the best place for
sumo news in the English language.  In recent times, some of the great
contributors to this list have either stopped contributing or have
emigrated to the sumo forum.

This list has been very lucky that Moti has remained loyal to it.  It
has been his general practice of duplicating his posts both here and
on the forum.

About a week ago Moti gave us some news about Asashoryu and asageiko.
>From that bit of news we have ended up with the recent emails to this
list.

We have not heard from Moti on the list for a few days regarding
Asashoryu's degeiko - but he has been updating the sumo forum (see
here:-->  <http://www.sumoforum.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=13832&st=0>)

I would like to apologise to Moti for my part in becoming embroiled in
the previous 'debate(s)'.  I would like to ask Moti to start resending
the news bits to the mailing list.

One thing that I did notice was that are several snippets to be found
in the ongoing discussion over on the sumo forum that could have been
used against the points that I was trying to make here on this list.

I will end this mail by conceding that it might well be some kind of
aquatic fowl.
