• 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....

Contacted me to purchase a snake, horrible communication abilities. Every email the snake she wanted seemed to change. When I asked her to clearify what she wanted she chose to get insulting. I don't recommend doing business with this person. She's aweful! If you do so, do at your own risk... that is if she ever gets around to buying anything since you can't really understand what she's typing. Totally impossible person!

i dont think this is exactly proper for the BOI. You havent done business with this person, or exchanged money in any way.

As a breeder/Seller you should be wary of emails such as this, but there is no need to post about the person like so.
Sorry, but the BOI is not someplace you can just rant about a person because of faulty email skills unless youve exchanged animals,money, or sent them animals and gotten no return on them.

Depends on your definition of "business". In my opinion business is the act of bargining or negotiating for a transaction to occur, independent on whether the transaction is successful or not.

I make an attempt to work with every interested buyer that contacts me about an animal knowing that there are many ages and levels of individuals out there. The fact that after 3 weeks of trying to help this individual the business transaction was completely unsuccessful is probably a sign. I felt it was important warn others that dealing with this individual could be difficult. And yes there are many of these types out there, but this was one that I felt was important to inform people about as there were things that it me as very odd.

... and sorry I didn't notice until now that someone requested to see emails and as months have passed I no longer have them. Sorry.
