OT: Opium Smoker with A Cat ( Historic Chinatown Photos )
-
Maybe fifty new Chinatown photos, augmenting the previous
collection. A little bit re-arranged, but try this "start URL" from --
http://igs.joyjoy.net/English/art/sfchinatown/67chinatown.html
if you're a returning Chinatown photo veteran. Also includes
at least one of a priest, gamblers, parade attendees, shoppers,
gawkers, the Chinese Salvation Army band, some posed photos,
balloon dealers, vendors, partial families, school classmates, all
of them historical, and of course the Opium Smoker with A Cat
(somewhere in the series, indexed by reversing the digits of a
two-digit perfect number).
If they were colorized animated movies, you'd already be there.

years ago. Being Chinese, I think she would know.
Judging by this and the well-publicized fake photos hosted on that website,
I wouldn't be suprised.

Though you are -incapable- of arguing with your wife, others
are not. One could just as well say "Being Chinese, she would not
know." After all "those who know do not speak, and those who
speak do not know." She spoke, apparently.

Evidently you take for "knowledge" a probabilistic foundation.
There are more accurate, scholaraly, and historically recognized
methods of verifying or disverifying your claims, none of which is
relevant to the Subject: line posed for this newsgroup, but might
be deserving of its own thread somewhere else, maybe not even
on USENET. I've seen these and other photos already in many
books, and shops (in the new S.F. Chinatown and elsewhere),
as early as the 1970s, perhaps even before your wife was born.
Fact of this matter: perhaps -YOU- are the fake. I'll reserve my
additional remarks, concerning your wife's unsubstantiated rumor.

She must be an old hag and judging by your rotten behavior on IGS in the
past, and in this newsgroup, I wouldn't be surprised.

If true maybe it is as a result of ignorance or inadequate research rather
an intention to deceive - but then who knows ? It seems to be an open season
for insults.

You can say what you like about me, but there are facts:
1. jb started it by calling me a remover of live stone groups, which is not
true. I won my last 10 games on IGS before I left and I wasn't even trying.
2. I was de-shouted for shouting NNGS many years ago, as someone who didn't
think it was unacceptable. The shout priveledge was reinstated very soon
after I made an apology to YOU and to someone else (dsaun?)
3. Why was xinjia-robinl.ugf on your server? Obviously I was quite popular,
maybe even semifamous until you and jb decided you didn't like me because I
use KGS.
4. I had more than 2,000 games on IGS before I left of my own accord. You
loved me tweet, you sent me little ascii arts all the time on IGS.
5. I'm such a troublemaker you resent me my password 3 times over the years,
breaking IGS policy to do so.
6. Page not found on above address. You might want to check to see if you
uploaded it correctly.
