- NOT firsthand, but I have heard stories of encounters that Ie Chang Ming
- had in which he dealt with opponents when he was very old. He was mostly
- into point-manipulation, by then, so I heard. There is likely no way
- that I could verify the stories. If I had the opportunity to ask Sin The'
- if he saw any of the incidents when he was young, then that would be only
- secondhand... Of course, he would be a good candidate for having been
- whomped by an old fogey while he was in his prime. Have to wait for the
- book to come out...
