• 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....

Fauna, the BOI, and Favouritism...

And btw, thanks for the kind words Chuck. But according to Andy I put you up to it just like everyone else who posts on my behalf here right? LOL

Man.... I missed out on some pretty amusing stuff here and I'm still not finished reading it all!
Chris,this is actually better than most of the topics found.I went through a 12 pack reading

It was my pleasure to say such Chris. If Andy cant stand toe to toe with the competition he had no business setting his mark so high. Cursing you was simply his acceptance of that failure.
 
Did anyone actually read through that whole pile of sh!t that Tosha posted? LMFAO!

Tosha, I have a special sign for you:

To be perfectly honest our dealings with Tosha have been quite pleasant, of course we were ripped a new one over a misunderstanding regarding unread\unreceived correspondence but we went ahead with even another transaction and all was well. From a sellers standpoint Tosha was a pleasure to do business with. I cannot speak regarding her experience, so I wont. I also think its in bad taste to insult someone who may not have as much experience as you, how else are they to learn?! Regardless, lets try to keep this 'on topic' can we? :)

I couldn't agree more, Chris. It's the "I have 25 years experience" claim and then asking obvious neophyte questions that got her in trouble, not her lack of experience itself.
 
ummmm tosha mc or whatever your name is..... something dont seem right and smells but not quite like tuna wes :hehe:

Another thing

Chris, even you have noted Tosha's propensity to lying. Remember this? (Formatting added by me for emphasis and readablility.)

Over the past three months I have emailed Chris at least a dozen times, inquiring about snakes. He has returned about 4 of my emails (so yes they are getting thru) and his return time runs between 4 and 7 days. IMO bad customer service right there and yes I am allowed to have an opinion and this is the place to post. I was not being hostile just stating the facts. A majority of these were placed during January and February when he was not shipping do to weather and I had received read receipts but no response. There is no "reasonable excuse".

TopShelfExotics said:
Well I hate to say it, but thats a lie considering ALL of our email clients are set NOT to send such receipts. Even if your emails WERE received you would not have received any such receipt. This is simple fact and cannot be disputed. We receive hundreds of emails daily and can only get to so many in any given time, especially recently with all the attention that has been placed on shipping pending orders. I felt that such receipts without an immediate reply in most cases could possibly cause conflict. When a customer receives such a receipt they usually expect a reply within minutes. You can see where this would cause problems.... And this is why no one who mails ANY address associated with TSE receives read receipts. Sorry.

ummmm wes and his tuna and gred and his floggin and damn webslave mike was trying to get crissoned (sp?) with his first point... i told him to watch wes
 
Well I hate to add fuel to an off-topic fire but yes, our clients are configured to ignore read receipt requests so our quoted statement does indeed stand.
 
So can we agree...

That if you dont bull**** then there is no reason to fear the BOI, and if you don't lie there is no reason to worry about it either.
I mean come on...there are too many people here for everyone to get along, if we can understand that and accept it then everything will be much better.

I know that I am considered "small time" in the grand scheme of things. I also realize that if I am in the company of people that I know are more knowledgeable in a subject than me then I keep quiet, listen and absorb what I can.

Seems to me that if some of these people would have taken this to heart and acted that way when they came here the first few times then things would have gone a lot smoother.

I have been a member here since 2003. And I was on here before that. I didn't take part in hardly any threads till just recently. Because I didn't feel comfortable doing it.

I also didn't want to post something that wasn't right and that would be picked apart. All this took on my part is a little forethought...something that seems lacking here sometimes.

Anyways...in the words of the immortal pcp'd out Rodney King, "can't we all just get along???"
