'So shines a good deed in this weary world' .... if anyone can guess where I've used that quote from, you deserve a medal .... You would be hard pressed to guess where without Googling it that's for sure but it's extremely apt considering the past few pages in this thread.
The 'good deed' came from a very unexpected corner, leastwise for me it was and I'm really pleased I was proved wrong in this particular matter.
There will be no paint sold by Jon Payne of Laysick to either barnett or sables.
And the reason he's chosen not to do it, well, that's the good deed in question.
It seems there is an upper limit to which some people will go in their quest for financial gain.
To supply paint to either party was deemed inappropriate by Jon and so he elected to say 'no' to barnett ...
Koudos to Jon Payne for at least exampling a limit to what some people will do for money.
I'm sure a couple of grand would have felt quite nice stuffing into his back-pocket but in this instance, it would have come at a hefty price, and that price was a slur on one's reputation in being seen to help barnett after what he's done to our sport/industry.
And so John decided to do the right thing in this instance and in effect, placed his financial interest in second place behind doing the good deed.
I'd never thought I'd say this but, I hope others can take a leaf out of John's book in this regard.
