[sumo] Full Video set available

[Barbara]

Earlier I announced that I had lost files for days 1-4 due to a hard 
disk failure, but today I found that I had misplaced some early 
experimental copies of the files for days 1 and 2 due to the video 
quality tests I had been running. So this set will be 4 disks after all, 
with only days 3-4 missing.  Since I already had announced that this 
would be a 3 disk set of days 5-15 I will include the 4th disk as a free 
item  for those who get the 3-disk set. There is no need to request it 
specifically - I will send it to everyone. Day 2 is an important one and 
I'm glad I found it.  Days 3-4 are not as important, though this basho 
there were so many new sekitori that I think they were still doing 
interviews even on day 4.
