    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Not 100% if this is a BOI thing or not.  If not, please remove it and I apologize.
I just received the strangest e-mail from this person telling me that he will be paying whatever it costs to for me to ship these snakes for him and that he'll pay an additional $10 per extra box.  
I don't know this person other than he told me money was on the way for some leopard geckos a few months ago and the money never showed and he would not return my e-mails.  I don't ever remember discussing doing any shipping for him, let alone shipping at all.  
I just thought this was very strange and I was curious if he was trying to hit up anyone else to use their shipping account.  I would be vary wary of anyone that is shipping herps but can't set up their own shipper account.  Just a warning for those who don't know already, DON'T GIVE OUT YOUR SHIPPING ACCOUNT OR INFO TO ANYONE YOU DON'T KNOW!!!  Who knows what they could be shipping or how.  

Here is his e-mail to me:

>Hi rob, i e-mailed you a long time ago about shipping, i have everything needed to ship. I will give you the money it cost to ship, and an extra 10 per box that you ship for me, if that is ok with you?
>I have 9 snakes i need to ship, already sold one.

And my response:

I'm sorry, but I have no clue what you are talking about.  Do you want me to ship something for you?  I don't know you other than you told me you were going to by some leopard geckos from me and money never arrived and I never heard from you again.  

Please refresh my memory as to why I would be shipping something for you.  I will not be shipping anything for you as I do not know you, but please tell me how you got that idea.  Thank you.
