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....

Did you buy the one off he site with the sig on it or customize it?
Midwest will custom make one for you with the same design if anyone is interested. I got mine with no sig and different grips. For $10 more than list price, it was well worth it IMO. Very versatile hook.

That's... interesting. The O'Shea hook that they sell was just a model of a hook they had previously sold for years, with a new color to the shaft and the signature printed on there. Initially the O'Shea hook was marked *up* from the generic version. If they're now charging ten bucks extra to get the old version, that just sounds shady as hell, which would be a surprise... but there it is.
Seamus,
Look at the NBA, and NFL shirts; they are made of the same material as other shirts that you can buy for half the price elsewhere! The prices are dictated by the demand I guess...

The part connecting the hook to the shaft is black (I didn't like the red), both grips are thick foam instead of the a combo of one foam in the middle and the rubber one on the end, no signature (I didn't like that on it).
This one is a bit rough since it's seen some use since I got it.
