    You better cooperate.

    sin! cerely,

    You gotta love the punchline at the end there considering the letter was intended to be written formally.

    "You better cooperate".

    So did they come through good with the threat? Are you "blacklisted" or did you send the guy a replacement record/refund?? So many brilliant examples of german-english hilarity in that letter.

    The sad thing is, as a member of the Worldwide Vinyl
    Association, I really did receive an update with your
    eBay handle, real name & mailing address, warning me
    not to do any business with you. For the record, I sent
    in a testimonial on your behalf, trying to give you an
    opportunity to present your case to the panel - but Hector
    Mantequilla is too high up in the organization, and refused to let
    your case be heard at all.

    In fact, you had a set sale last summer on here that included
    a couple of albums I wanted - I sent a PM, but received a
    screen saying that it could not be sent, and shortly thereafter
    (like 10 minutes!) I received an e-mail stating that if I tried
    to purchase from you again, I would be ex-communicated from
    the WVA for life, with no hope of reinstatement.

    He's too high up?

    I knew I recognised that name...

    'A workday peters out. An unpromising 22-year-old named Walter Van Brunt is discovered sharing joints and beer in a bar called the Throbbing Elbow. His companions are Hector Mantequilla (''ragged wild hair'') and Mardi, who's wearing a hand-dyed paper miniskirt with matching panties -a dress ''so short as to expose the nether curve of her buttocks.'' ''I got something for you, man - something special,'' says Hector, taking Walter's arm. ''In the men's room, you know?''
