[Gary Grossmann]

Considering how long and how badly his generousity has been abused, the only
reason I'm surprised it has taken this long and that his position is not
more severe is because I know what a wonderful, wonderful person he is.

It's really kind of pathetic.  I've saw a guy send his kid up to Sergio to
get him to sign multiple copies of stuff that he was going to sell, like
Sergio wouldn't smell that out!  But then he signed them anyway.  Too bad we
can't do something about these reprobates.  You know, send them mulch
flavored cheesedip in the mail.  Oh well, eventually they will rot in hell,
or at least end up somewhere where there is NO Sergio art or Mark dialogue
(Gak! That WOULD be hell for some of us.  Just the idea gives me the
shakes!) Take care all -Gary G.
