    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 have some unfinished business with him. He does send me updates on upcoming events but will not respond to my numerous inquiries about our deal going back to late last year.

Any info?

HI GUS,
CAN YOU ELABORATE MORE AS TO WHAT HAPPENED A YEAR AGO??
YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO FIND HIM AT ANY OF HIS SHOWS.

GOD BLESS!!

Ben,

In San Antonio he got an animal from me. Earlier this year I said 'hey, let's square up'... I've never gotten a single reply to maybe 12 e-mails. I don't have his phone number but I never have had any trouble getting him or Bonnie to reply to me before.

As far as I'm concerned he is a great guy and I would drop by a show and look him up but the Arlington or Irving shows are a 10 hour drive for me, that drive is a lot more than the deal is worth.

I suspect he or somebody he knows will read this and very quick he will contact me and he will have a good reason why he hasn't come through. On the other hand, if he is trying to rip me on a little deal like this (doubtful) I'll let you know.

Thanks

Gus

Gus,
I couldn't help but notice the email you left on the title of this as "[email protected]"
Well, if you've been sending emails to that email, it's the wrong address.  The correct email is [email protected]
You can find him, like Ben said, at any of the expos walking around.  If you ever go back to an expo, they all wear badges.

Just wanted to give you the correct email.   <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>
 
There is more then one person that he has not "finished" business with. I wish you well. I do not understand how he can be put on reptile shows and claim to "love" reptiles and at the same time be a vendor at rattlesnake round ups. He does sell at the rattlesnake round ups here in Texas. I do believe that is one bad person

I'll probably take a beating over this, but as to his being a vendor at rattlesnake round-ups, I've spoken to him about it before.  Let's be honest, he's in BUSINESS to sell and make money, in this case, with his handling equipment.  Personally, I'd rather see someone knowledgeable with quality equipment at one of those things than some idiot trying to tell folks that the best way to catch a venomous snake is with their hands and a stick, or worse yet, homemede equipment that might kill the animals.  Besides, he's not the only herper that does such but I won't name other names as they weren't mentioned in any previous posts.  Some of them might shock the herping community into a rather nasty uproar because the names aren't "small-time" like James.  

As far as the "unfinished business" that started this thread, just contact him and settle it.  James and Bonnie have always been easy to talk to and deal with in my experiences.  Best of luck and God bless.
