>OK I think I've seen enough.  I've been with this list
>for a decade.  Joined shortly after I left the United
>States Navy.  This list has been my main connection to
>Sumo since those days.
>
>For twenty years now I have been a fan due primarily
>because of the Hawaii connection.  I cheered the rise
>of Akebono and Musashimaru with glee.  I was saddened
>when Konishiki fell from Ozeki.  I was amazed at the
>ability and skill level of the Hanada brothers and
>have been often shocked by the behavior of Asashoryu.

>This weekend this list has gone to trash.  Maybe some
>of you who are screaming about the war in Iraq etc
>should remember a thing of six.
>
>Thing one: we have many active duty US Military
>members on this list.
>
>Thing two: this list has a clear international flavor.
>
>Thing three: an entire family who were members of this
>list died in the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001.
>
>Thing four: the few days after that list it was made
>quite clear that there are members of this list who
>are enemies of the United States based purely on their
>comments and one quite prominent member of this list
>should probably never get withing arm's reach of me as
>that individual has a right cross coming that hasn't
>been afforded the chance to be paid yet.

>Thing five: I don't care what your opinion is of the
>war on terror one way or the other.  I don't care what
>your opinion of the war in Iraq is one way or the
>other.  I do know that they are reality, they are
>current and they aren't going away just because
>someone wishes them to.  Views of the Bush
>administration etc have no place on this list.
>
>Thing six: Wayne, God bless you and the people you are
>serving with as well as any others who are serving
>anywhere in the world for the cause of freedom.
>
>Thing seven: I think I will be ignoring this list for
>some time now if I don't just unsubscribe.  The venom
>being tossed around is unseemly and is the worst I've
>seen here since the outlandish comments made about the
>Untied States on this list the week of 9/11/01.
>
>Thing eight: I am a veteran.  I've been to war.  I
>have been under gun point and I have killed for my
>country.  I don't need someone from another era
>telling me what to read or making silly comments about
>"informed media."  I've seen from point blank direct
>experience numerous times that "the mainstream media"
>is all about dollars and has little interest in
>keeping anyone actually informed.  Wayne informed us.
>That is all I need to know about Ramadi.
>
>Thing nine: God bless the United States of America and
>to Hell with anyone who thinks different.
