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.

IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ!! About the Google Adsense ads being displayed

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.....
=====================
Addendum: 01/10/2026
=====================
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....

Well, If he is the same Jason Palumbo that is now in Chicago, I wouldn't call him a good guy. He may not be a bad guy, but I would call him a flake. When Jason approached me, I checked him out here and this post is all I found. Now that I have dealt with him, I will share my experience with him. For ease I put my e-mails in blue, and Jason's in red. I included every e-mail that I recieved and sent, as well as the times that they were sent. If I seemed irritated toward the end, it is because was.

Do you remember sending this to me? "Hello,

Thursday, November 03, 2005 9:43 PM If you did not remember that last one, maybe you will remember sending me this??? "I have a favor to ask, I really want this male but do to finances I wont be able to send the money till the 28th of Oct.

Thursday, November 03, 2005 9:46 PM Well maybe those last two don't mean much, but what about this one? Note the part where you give your word? "Yes please do so I will give you my word that on the 28th I will send out the money for him. If I can do it earlier I will let you know. I appreciate it." Is there something I missed here? James
Thursday, November 03, 2005 10:34 PM Hello, I am sorry it took so long to get back to you I have had a family emergency and have been out of work for a few days. I will not be able to purchase this snake from you I am truly sorry for any incontinence this has caused you.
Jason Palumbo
Friday, November 04, 2005 6:01 AM I guess your word is worth nothing then.
I have had the unfortunate luck of dealing with too many people like this in the last few weeks. Between the flakes, the Nigerian scammers, and the all around scumbags, I am just just tired of this whole thing. I just received some animals on trade today (only because I would not back out on the guy) They are going up for sale along with the rest of my collection. I have met some super great people in this hobby/business, but they are the minority. I am out (or soon to be out). Thanks to those good people that I have met and done business with here.
