New Site, avoid like the plague.....

Actually if you posted your reply in Chinese it would make better sense to some of us. I need the practice.

...

Mike, all your tea are belong to us.

I know Mike, I was just commenting on the ecommerce software they were using, sort of on a tangent.

My excuse is that my gateway strips the 8th bit and I cannot send anything but ASCII!!!

You sure your, uh, critic deserves this, given the quality of his or her English? Maybe he or she relied on a Chinese-to-English translation program!

OK. Aha.

I've been thinking about this. And. OK.

So. What happened is. Well, I don't really like tea, see. But I read all these messages by Mike Petro (who is a real cheat) and saw the URL to

and -- OK, I see it now. That made me think I love pu-erh and go out and spend my kids' college money on some MH 7542 from 1978 (125 tongs!) ... and. OK. I get it now.

I've been totally cheated by the Mr Mike Petro, whose website is located at

(disclaimer: for the archive, i'd liked to point out that the above is a 笑话 ...)

"88" - - eights represent good luck (particularly in business), prosperity, wealth - the more "eights" the luckier

Except nothing is being stripped. In your last post of Chinese characters:

the four valid characters (byte pairs for each character) for DiMing each fall in the extended Ascii range of 2**8. The Asian character sets try to stay out of our Ascii 2**7.

In this post somewhere the characters did get stripped to Ascii ? but I'm not sure what caused it.

Jim

I wish all cheats are like Mike Petro.

It always saddened me to see how people chase "luck" when its so much more fun to "chase" smart. Which is what our 88 friends desperately need.

Sasha.

re: the number 8, It's not as much about "chasing" as "hoping" or "wishing" for luck. It's akin to why people wear talismans, me think.

Thanks for the heads up, Mike.

LOL!

ROTFLMHO! You just hate being exposed.

Actually the 88 sites both have pretty decent tea, and I think they do a fine business. MarshalN
