• 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....

BAD GUY Ryan Blakley Walter's World of Pets/ Wild Ryno Inc

Thanks for the good words Michael, Jim Elliot hit the nail on the head. This thread is about 80% accurate, but we all know the devil is in the details. Funny part was he contacted me less than a year later and wouldn't tell me his last name when he wanted to buy some snakes I produced. I declined. Fact is i have had the same business, phone number, cell phone number, and home address for the past 18 years. That should speak for my stability. Always felt is was best to let this thread fade away, just like Scott did.

And yet you felt the need to comment and take a jab.

I have no issues with Ryan. I don't even know him. As I said long ago, I wish I didn't even have to post the original complaint. If I was right or if I was wrong I wish it could have handled differently. My goal was never to cause issues or problems with Ryan. Each side always has a different story I guess, I'm not hear to argue any of it. Instead, I apologize that I created this topic but at that time, amount of money and how it was handled, I wasn't sure what else to do. Years later, maybe I would have handled things in a different way.

Take care...
