• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    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....

I posted this in the computer forum, but it doesnt look like it gets viewed often.

Can anyone in this forum help?

I am having a dispute right now with someone on ebay. I have completed hundreds of transactions and am very familliar with filling complaints and getting my money back, but I would like someone to help with this IP question. In the two emails listed below, I noticed something fishy. The writing style is identical. All caps, no punctuation other than the ocassional [...] and just a general feeling that this is not right. The first email is from the guy Im having problems with. He is stationed on a naval vessel and his girlfriend is supposedly handling his transactions. The second email is supposed to be from his girlfriend. These emails were sent minutes apart and i believe they are from the same computer. Please help me nail this guy.

I'm by all means not an expert on this but to me it looks like two different IP's. It also looks like they were sent almost 45 min apart from one another [Sun, 23 Jan 2005 21:30:06 = 9:30] [Sun, 23 Jan 2005 22:13:06 = 10:13].

I found an online IP search and was able to detirmine that they were in fact sent from different computers. One, aboard the Nimitz. This IP is based out of San Diego. And the other in Los Angeles. These people are scum.
