All,



Just thought I'd share something in case any of the newbies have had their

faith shaken regarding the character of your average Pantera dude.



We have a true gentleman in our midst.  I'm referring to one Gregory P.

Sullivan, a.k.a. Sully, a.k.a. GPS@aol.com.  You may recall that he had taped

the Concours Italiano show from Speedvision and was offering to dupe copies

of the tape for those of us who are Speedvision-challenged, with a nominal

cost only intended to cover costs of the tape and shipping.



I duly sent off my $10 check and anxiously awaited for the arrival of the

tape.



Today a package arrived containing the tape, but also an envelope.  In the

envelope was my (uncashed) check, along with this note,



"Gang,



My taping of the video did not come out to my standards.  The volume is a

little low, but everything else seems OK.



Thus, I don't feel it is proper to charge you for the video.



Buy me a beer in Vegas or Laguna Seca"



So, the guy still forked out several bucks for a tape, more bucks to ship it,

but declines payment just 'cause I have to turn the volume up a little more

than normal to hear it?  (The sound was decent once that was done.)



WHAT A DUDE!!!!  Sully, I'll buy you all the free beer you can stand at Las

Vegas.  Who knows, I might even spend money and buy you some not-free beer at

Laguna Seca!



Mike
