• 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....

Warning! Scam artist

Yesterday we received an email from a Daniel R. Sapp Jr. informing us that we had neglected to ship an animal to him. He claimed that he had sent us a blank check and that we had cashed it. Today we went back to check our records and discovered that Daniel had made a false claim. In the email he sent us he was extremely threatening and warned us that if we neglected to ship him the animal he would take us to court. Daniel left us his true name and address so we investigated it and it turned out this guy was trying to run a scam on us and probably others. We want to report this in case it comes up again with us or anyone else. His true name is Daniel R. Jr. and the address he is using is 111 Edge Ave. New Castle, De. 19720.
