Apologies if this has been mentioned before, but there are a few Tori video clips available at . They've got short clips of the end of "SATY" from Unplugged, plus clips from "CALS" and "Hey Jupiter" (I hadn't seen any of this before -- it appears to be Tori being rescued from a burning building, then sitting in the back seat of a patrol car looking like, well, crap). They're not much, but they're something and I'm sure of interest to somebody. :) So Intergalactic Garage is giving free stuff to people who turn other people in to them now. I made the mistake of warning someone away from them on a public bb over 5 years ago and they threatened to sue me for slander, but that was back when the Net and online services in general were small enough so that they could monitor mentions of themselves like that. I guess now they have to rely on the kindness of strangers to point their prey out to them. Pretty sad, that. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 22 Jun 1997 02:49:27 -0400 (EDT) From: Sekmet72@aol.com Subject: Re: IGG -from the tori update In a message dated 97-06-22 00:30:20 EDT, you write: << WE NEED YOUR HELP!!!

GOTT IT?? IF you have any questions, please ask. (We need the full >thread of the 'dream shelf' 'flame' from precious things. First to pass >that gets a gift! THANKS!) > >> Well, this paragraph says it all. It suggests that this company has many complaints, and rather than provide good customer service, and look into the complaint, they attack the customer. Have they heard of " the customer is always right". Even if the customer isn't right, there are polite ways of dealing with the situation. They so much admit to the fact that many people won't do business with them again because of their bad customer service. I think it is disgusting that rather than dealing with their attitude problem they decide to try and make more money off the consumer. What a way to run a business! I think Tori would be ashamed of them. I've never done business with them, and I never will now. I will tell every Tori fan I know to be wary of them. I really hope nobody on Precious Things sends the thread to them to get a free gift. That's just tacky! Even if you did business with them, and didn't have a problem, this shameless self-promotion at the expense of customers with complaints should deter you from replying to this offer. This is just my 2 cents, but i know i'm not alone.
