• 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.

  • IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ!! About the Google Adsense ads being displayed

    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....

I replied with:

I will like to know the price of the sanke if the price is okay by me and its good to go i will like to pay for it and my mode of payment will be via MONEY ORDER which
you can cash instantly at your bank,the payment will be sent down to your place via FedEx courier service.About the shipping there is no need for you to worry about that because i will have my personal shipping agent sent down to your residence for the pick up and inspection but i will need your help in remitting the shippers fee because I have not gotten in contact with the shipping agent for sometime now so what i want to do is that i will add excess fund i mean include his payment together with yours and once you have the Money Orders from FedEx and have them cashed instantly at your bank,Then you will deduct your payment and have the rest paid to the shipping agent via WESTERN UNION as soon as i have him located okay,he will be able to make arrangement to take his flight to your resident then and pickup then ship.So if this is okayby you i would want you to provide me with the below information which will be used to send the payment to you I hope you understood me explanation to you..1. First and Last names(which will be issued on the MONEY ORDERS)2. House address(physical home address where UPS will deliver payment too)
3. Phone number.(in case i need to contact you urgently)I will be waiting for the details so that i can mail the payment to
you...Here is my cell No..18054192104 Thanks and GOD bless you

He was wanting the price for the snake but the add was for a gecko.
 
Montana eh? The phone number area code comes back California. Do they really think we're this stupid?
