• 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.....

    =====================
    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    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....

[email protected] love emails like this..

Check out this email...kinda colorful so I posted it up here just for fun...sorry Courtney I didn't get to sell you a Tortoise...looks like I dodged the bullet...If anyone gets any mails from this gal becareful she's probably a problem waiting to happen...In the future "Courtney" you should be careful what you email to people , they may decide to post it for everyone to see...
On another note I would of been glad to sell almost anyone a tortoise, I don't hide from sales, but sometimes mails get zapped by spam filters, accidently erased or just plain overlooked...maybe if you would of followed up you'd be a lot happier.Seems you really wanted that tort.
:raspberry
 
My oh my. What possesses people to get so angry over one missed communication, from a classified ad, and in this case 4 months ago? With all the firewalls and spam filters out there now (on personal and ISP levels), things do get lost. :ack2: Guess she must've been one of those "I want it now!" people, but wow, I'd hate to be on her wrong side for something SERIOUS, how long would that grudge last? Sheesh.
 
I have to admit it. Nothing tickles me more than someone getting all fired up to the point that they evidently can't express themselves without having to use words like "douche bag" and they can't even spell them. :hehe: I'm sure it's not the effect the writer was looking for, but it gives me a good giggle. You almost want to write them back and thank them for brightening your day. ;)
 
How is it that they get that angry over not spending money? I would actually appreciate not having to front the money, and go spend it on some anger management therapy for Courtney... ;-)

You'd think that if she wanted them that badly she could have tried and followed up herself...

How immature and rude of her.

hehehehehehee...
 
Or at least send them an e-mail correcting their spelling :dgrin:
 
Don't bother correcting her spelling....I think she should probably stick to one syllable words. Her email should have said:

Hey Bad Girl,
Thanks for not mail me back for shell thing. Make me mad. Me no like be mad. I would drive there to get shell thing. Me no give check to you. Thank you for zero. Me act like huge jerk. Me not sane.


See all one syllable and same meaning :)

Who doesn't know how to spell "douche bag"?

If her "dirty" mouth is any indication, I doubt she even knows what one is let alone how to spell it.
 
Justin,
I bet that email made you feel all warm and fuzzy inside huh? LOL That's too funny.

I have no clue who she is but the email was rather funny I just had to share... I emailed her the link to this thread and she replied..with "BIG DEAL". She is so mad she didn't get that tortoise. The ideal of anger management courses was the cool.. now I wonder what would of happend if I met her..been late or ??? who knows she might of beat me up!!

Well, the way I'd look at it.......besides the fact we all got a good laugh out of it, it's nice to know ahead of time what kind of people are looking at your animals, and if she's got a temper (and mouth) like that, she certainly doesn't look like someone I'd want to even have one of my animals. So...it was a win/win situation for you I think Justin, LOL.

Very good point Cathy.

If she gets that po'd over not being able to buy something, what is she going to do to an animal when it does something that displeases her.

Frightening thought.

A member only shows up in the member directory if they have made at least on post somewhere in the forums. They are what is considered as "active" members.
