    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....

From that perspective that's not much different from the importer who sells WC animals off the plane. Some of those animals haven't been in the US more than a week! But let's face it. Even the "big boys" import rare morphs and more than likely "quaratine" them at their facilities. So I think Cat brings a good point, how different is an animal that comes from a breeder than a rescue when both are healthy? Again with what really I have a problem with is with soliciting animals and sell them for a profit. From the point of the animal itself it doesn't differ much from a recent import. The approach of the dealer that solicits animals for resale is a whole different story. :rolleyes:

I cannot agree more Dan, I think it is wrong as well, it is like the animal is not being rescued at all but rather colleted for profit.
