    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....

"Pet Prouct News" is a trade magazine aimed at the pet industry. In the recent issue there was an article about selling on the web. While it had a lot of general info on websites and the like it was sort of geared toward selling reptiles. It wasn't a particularily informative article (they seldom are IMO) but there were a few interesting paragraphs with quotes form a person with the initials T.L. (they said his name but I am going to let you figure it out) A little hint, the acronym for his company name in San Obispo Cal. is CCRRC. Anyway, in one of the paragraphs T.L. says that the Internet gives a forum to slanderous competitors which can lead to an undeserved bad reputation. His direct quote was " They make up stories and lie about bad transactions. This causes people to lose their business and damages the entire reptile industry" Now, he doesn't come out and name any websites in particular but I don't think it takes genius to figure it out.

Just thought it was kind of interesting and thought I would pass it along.

Well gee whiz, I guess if you're a scumbag- insert explitive of choice here- and you're BUSTED LYING enough times it COULD affect your business.

How does this particular scumbag keep getting press at all? I guess if you kiss enough a$$ like our brownhaired, nosed and shouldered pal TL then you get to be in the spotlight.

I still wonder why Fish and Game hasn't shut him down. He MUST be a major snitch or something.
