• 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.....

    =====================


    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....

A question

I'd do a few calming exercises and call - many things can be sorted out in a direct telephone conversation that can get all snarled up in emails.

You just need to be calm - there may be a very logical explanation - and just because you have sent emails there is no guarantee he has received them, or that he too isn't having personal issues.

I'd advise not jumping into any aggressive measures (like a BOI thread) until you've actually made contact and got some kind of response from him. Sometimes people's reaction to BOI threads are to harden attitudes.

Good luck, hope there's a simple explanation and that it works out. :thumbsup:
 
Almost 8 weeks and I have been watching him post.They have always answered my emails until now.I started emailing him thur or fri asking if they were ready.Sent a private message on a site we both attend every day last monday no answers.I am very sure he has got my messages.I am giving this very little more time as I am getting frustrated.
 
Call him and let it go until Monday. Try getting ahold of him asking whats up. Dont make any threatening comments but just talk. If Monday rolls around, you know what to do;)
 
I have never been so wrong about a person in my life.He gave me all the babys and the adults back.He has to many other projects he wants no intrest in them at all this makes me feel like a piece of crap but I am very happy.
 
Hey Archie,

I am glad you were wrong and didnt post on the BOI. This was a better avenue and because of this, it worked out positively. Now, you should be posting a "Good Guy" thread;)
 
I did I also feel like an idiot This guy is what we all should strive to be like.I am not there and can only pray some day I am half that good

Sometimes a 30 second phone call can sort out week's worth of emails.
Hope this is the case.
Keep us informed and again, good luck.

My thoughts also.

I am the one Archie has been writing about.

This is one of my busiest times of the year and I prefer phone calls over e-mails.

Between School Programs, Safety Classes, Snake Calls, Birthday Party gigs, and prepping for next weekends Austin Reptile Expo, I haven't had time to respond to personal e-mails.

As Archie has said, he will be getting these back do to my time constraints.

When we originally did this deal I was very interested in these animals. Since then, my interest has wained but Archie's has not. The babies were also smaller than I thought they would be and more difficult to feed. I don't have time right now for difficult feeders.

I do consider Archie a friend and I'm glad I was able to help out when I did.

I'll admit, I am also a sucker for "I've never had one of those before"!

Until you have kept an animal, it's hard to say how your interest in the species will go.

I'm just happy that Archie has the passion for these beautiful snakes.

Once again, I apologize to Archie for the delayed response.
 
Tim,

I had a feeling his deal was with you. I am GLAD and extremely happy that Archie had the patience (something we all know that Archie is not known for) with you. No offense Archie so please dont take any. He seemed really passionate about his friends as well as his animals and I just had a feeling that everything would work itself out in the end.
 
tHE ONLY ONE WHO OWES ANY ONE AN APOLOGY IS ME ...I apologize Tim and need to work on my people skills .Dean dude it is like we have been friends for years. lol
