• 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....

Can This Go Viral?

I just checked the "Worms and Germs Blog" and, so far, no comments have been posted, even though I personally know of several individuals who have commented.

Here's a Salmonella primer (and response to the blog) that I just wrote:

Playing the Salmonella Card

Even though no comments have yet been posted to the Worms and Germs Blog, please keep them coming as I intend to write a letter to the editor of the Toronto Star and would like to use your comments.

Please also post your comments here as well as on the blog.
 
There are no dangers in handling reptiles as long as proper sanitation procedures are followed. From the article in the paper, the teacher is knowledgeable in handling reptiles & is teaching the kids to handle them responsibly.

Snake-Queen and others, it does appear that you are correct, that Dr. Weese is not posting any dissenting comments on the University of Guelph "Worms and Germs Blog."

By not posting any dissenting comments, and by only presenting one side of the debate, it looks more like this person is generating propaganda instead of academia.

I, of course, believe this blog should be questioned and challenged by what is supposed to be a world class university. If university officials don't publicly challenge this blog, then we must do so in whatever form is most effective.

I intend to question this blog in the media via a letter to the original author of the article in the Toronto Star as well as in an opinion piece to the editor.

Until Dr. Weese starts posting your comments, please comment here. Thank you!
