    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....

Inquiry Anyone have experience with Vincent Lavin-Bitetti?

There is a person, by the name of Vincent Bitetti, that is involved with reptiles. As evidenced by this letter, that he had written in 2014, in opposition of listing certain reptiles as "injurious":
http://www.regulations.gov/#!documentDetail;D=FWS-HQ-FAC-2013-0118-0458
This, of course does not guarantee that he is the person (by same name) that is being inquired about, and does not show how he handles business, etc., but it is just a little something to show the guy may be a legit person (vs. Cameroon scammer).

You have made a very valid point, Deb. I did not search the name as you did which shows that Vincent Bitetti is indeed a real person involved with reptiles. Apologies to Mr. Bitetti.

Since both names were very similar, I made the mistake of thinking that the scammer from the first thread had simply modified his name slightly after being caught by Shannon (cold blooded view) in order to continue plying his evil ways. Guess I will have to be more thorough before posting anything else going forward.
