• 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 read an article this morning about how the businesses on some review sites get nice good guy reviews....for a price.

I reflected that those kind of fake reviews are more difficult to slide in here because of the BOI process. Sometimes, when someone posts a Good Guy review for a business here that has had Bad Guy reviews in the past, those less than stellar reviews are linked to the thread. Occasionally there are complaints about how Good Guy reviews should not be questioned.
Here is a reason why sometimes, savvy reader questions about a good guy review are in order:
