[sumo] Sumo topics

[Judith Douglas]

We haven't even begun to cover shameless copy-write  
infringement......there are members of the list who actually tape NHK 
broadcasts,  copy them onto DVD's and without permission,  sell them to 
the public for a profit.    Meanwhile,  I pay $26.00 monthly for the 
privilege of watching sumo live.  Before I did this I watched rikishi 
hop about on a tiny box on my computer.   We talk about all things 
Sumo.  You are not the boss of topics.

Asashoryu is what?    He didn't cause anyone's death and he doesn't 
steal.  You were one of the loudest and prolific anti-Asashoryu 
spokespersons.
