To who that can help:

After viewing the fabulous colletion of Hong Kong Popstar gifs in the ftp site,
'asia.lcs.mit.edu' I have been amazed ever since. Unfortunately, this ftp site
does not have many of the Hong Kong star I like. If anyone can help me find and
scan the following stars, I will be very happy. The stars that are not include
in the ftp site are YUENG HUNG, MAN YEE MUN, YUEN GEET YEE and LEE CHING. These
popstars might not be very popular but I hope someone can find them.  An
information that might help is that they all appear on Hong Kong's Asia T.V.
channel. Thanks for the help and good luck.

Yes, it is just a matter of definition.  I thought anonymous posting is such
that no one knows who you are and hence cannot respond to you personally.
(Of course one could respond through the net.)  However, anonymous posting
can be responsible or irresponsible.  Spreading fake news and personal
attacks are irresponsible, discussing issues is ok.  I don't think we
have differences on principles (which is what matters).  No point to
mince words and terms further.

Does anyone out there have any information about the tragedy that happened
in Lan Kwai Fong in HK on New Year's Eve? I just heard on CBC News that
20 people were killed, but details were quite sketchy.

BTW, this is called "sam sat" (three kill). However, this is not always
true. I knew someone living in such place never had any significant problems
at all. I think it also depends on other factors as well.

The fung shui issue also recalls me of a business unit in Melbourne city
area. It's facing a main road and is supposed to be very busy. However,
there's a record of 3 Chinese restaurants opened and closed in 3 years.
The fact is that there're 2 restaurants nearby (on the same block, just
a few units from that unlucky unit). One is Chinese and another is
Japanese. They've opened for at least 3 years. May be because of the
recession, that unlucky unit has been unused for months already.

So far, The people of HongKong have lost on the HKSE, more than the
total sum of contruction of a new airport....
The angry words from Beijing is causing them lose more.....
Is this what you would call prosperous by Bejing's standard?
Do you really believe anyone on the net will buy your snake-oil?

Do you think the CCP's leadership in Beijing, while they are enjoying
the sense of punishing the "British Colonist", would have considered

I was shocked when I learned the tragedy in this morning.

Last night when I watched the live count down of 1993 at Lan 
Kwai Fong on TV, it was a moment of joy and cheer. Everybody
was excited about the comming of 1993. No one would expect
that the God of Death had opened its gate silently and was 
waiting for them in the first few minutes of 1993. It had taken
twenty of them and may take three more as three injured in 
hospital are still in critical condition.

Are you delibrately vague on this one? Do you mean "_t_m_c" or "n_c_e__"
when you say "big"? (I am just trying to give you some choices to make
in order to clarify your "wonderful" idea. Oh, I do know how those two 
words spell like, but I am just doing it for "fun").

Anyway, I don't think it would be in China's interest to follow the kind
of foreign policy that your nice little innuendo suggests. Further, this 
would contravene a major international treaty of which China is a 
signatory (ah ha, I think you know what that treaty is, but for me to 
spell it out would amount to clarifying your statement for you, which
I respectfully defer this honour to you, sir).

How many agreements had you guys breached? F16, etc?
There is a lot of room between
explicitly declaration of nullifying a treaty and quietely(not necessarily
scretely) achiveing the same goal or roughly same goal with out touch the
treaty.
