Gah, buncha small typos... I don't think any of them are tough to figure out but they're in there. If anyone quotes any of it, fix 'em so I don't look like such a dink?

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, what was decided in private?
There needs to be some kind of wrap up, so I can go back to my everyday life. Since I have know idea what is going on, Maybe Mike F can share with me how this is being resolved.

To Sum It All UP
Well as much as I'd like to forget all this, I feel it is owed to the many whom keep emaling me about this situation and it's resolve. I would also like to thank everyone whom has supported us here posting openly, in private messages and emails, and even a phone call or two as it did not go unnoticed by us, again thank you all.
As for what has come of this whole situation..... After all that has transpired here I have not recieved ANY shed or form of proof of the animals being dead, that means not a single picture was sent to me or anyone to verify the animals were infact dead. Mike Fortier completely declined to getting a free necropsy done, as well as an offer to have the bodies picked up free of charge for that purpose. Mike F. has told me he does not wish to recieve any type of refund in any form and doesn't expect one due to his actions.
I wish none of this had transpired and I can say I am still very dissapointed in Mike F and the way he handled this situation. I feel as if my kindness and generosity was completely taken advantage of my Mr. Fortier and I feel as though those snakes may possibly still be alive and well. I hope Mike F. takes a valuable lesson from this and thinks twice before threatening to make false allegtions about someone whom tried to help him.
I have held all cornsnake sales since the beginning of this thread and have told all prospective buyers they would not be available until Feb. I feel this to be unnessacary but it never hurts to becareful. The reason of holding them was to be sure all are feeding and shedding perfectly as before, since this thread started all have done just that, perfect as before. Another result of this thread is that I will unfortunately be asking people if they are minors before making a sale, something I don't wish to do but sometimes one bad apple spoils it for the bunch so to speak.
Sincerly,
