• 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....

BOUNCING email messages!

It is what it is, but certainly not what it was.

I am getting quite a number of email messages bouncing back to my server lately. Here is an example of one that bounced back just a few minutes ago:

Hi Matt, do you still have the San Diego Gopher snakes available? Thanks.

People, it does you absolutely no good to post classified ads trying to sell something if people can't reach you about it. Why waste your time and the people whom may be interested in what you are offering.

Makes NO sense at all to me.

In the future, such classified ad messages that cause email bouncebacks will simply be deleted.
 
Looks like a full inbox, maybe. ("Quota violation")

Need to setup the e-mail software to delete messages from the server once downloaded to the hard drive. In the case of free e-mail accounts, just need to clean them out frequently.
