Info on Cantonese Opera article

[Deborah Tihanyi]

In response to Ric's recent message:

I'm sorry that Ric felt the need to jump to the conclusion that the
student was attempting to "pad" a bibliography.  As a Managing Editor
of TRIC/RTAC, I know that the article by Elizabeth L. Johnson on
Cantonese Opera was one of three articles (including one by Ric and
Jennifer Harvie) on the old TRIC web site (a site that is still
accessible on the web, even though it has been replaced by a much more
elaborate one in the past year).  There are no page numbers given for
the articles on that site, only the issue number and date.  Granted,
TRIC/RTAC is available in many libraries (even in the US), but perhaps
none to which this student has access.  Rather than condemning
him/her, perhaps we should be heartened to know that she cares to be
thorough enough in her research to credit a work fully.

Just a thought.
