• 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....

Help me settle a silly bet!

Had to add an epilogue of sorts here Art. If someone mentioned it earlier, forgive me for missing it. Heard it in a recruiting commercial earlier today that we all are familiar with, and don't know how we left it out:

The Few. The Proud. The Marines.

And then there's Matthew 22:14, usually stated something like "Many are called, but few are chosen", which has given rise to many things being characterized as the "chosen few".

You won your bet, but as illustrated above, it seems to be quantified often as an adjective of sorts, implying a "select portion" that is special :). God bless our Marines (I was Army).
