• 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....

I finally was able to complete a trade deal with Derek today. He shipped out a couple of weeks ago and sent me a personal check for the difference.

After I knew the check cleared my bank, I sent Derek an email regarding the shipping to him. We both watched the weather and we decided I wait another day or so to ship. Shipping day arrives and Derek emails me making sure I have all the info that I need. I go off to UPS and ship.

Now the dilemna...
After shipping the snake off, there is no tracking update. I sent off two packages at the same time and one was already received so I call Derek to see if he had received the package. He doesnt get mad, instead, he becomes very helpful and calls his local hub as well. The whole day we sent our updates to each other to make sure the other one knows whats going on the whole time. As soon as he receives his package he informs me of the good news.

Derek, thank you for handling the stress on a professional level. Please keep me up to date on his progress and I look forward to having you as a long time friend.
 
I want to thank you again Dean for giving me the opportunity to get this snake from you i know you didn't have to accept a trade but i'm so glad you did. Hes so nice it was almost worth the hassle and stress he put us through. But seriously thanks again, I love this guy.
