[sumo] [Psudo-OT] Semi-retirement

[Joe Klemmer]

All,

    It seems that something is always happening right when a basho starts.

    Due to health considerations and the fact that life really bites I will 
have to semi-retire from online Sumo.  This means that I will be Intai 
from all games except Bench Sumo.  Additionally I will no longer be able 
to do things like GG'ing or any of the other duties involved with the 
operation of Bench Sumo (though it's not like I've been doing much lately 
anyway).

    As for Sakura, it is up to the membership of the Ichimon whether they 
want me to remain Oyakata.  I can still do as much there as I'm doing now 
but a more active Oyakata might be preferred.

    I want to apologize to the Bench Sumo Community at large and to Jejima, 
Takanorappa and the members of Sakura particularly for my complete 
dropping of the ball.

    So, as it stands now, the only I will be playing Bench Sumo (and will 
likely be droning for the rest of the basho).  And just to be clear, this 
will IN NO WAY affect the Sumo Mailing List.

    Again, I'm sorry for making a mess this basho.  There's no need to 
reply to this message.  It's better to keep the list(s) clear for the 
Basho posts.

Yours,
Joe "Kuramarujo" Klemmer
