• 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....

Missing person--Steve Raymond

This thread kind of bounced around when I tried to travel time from 10 years ago, so if I posted somewhere wrong or something, I am sorry - I really don't explore much in BOI, but it seems like a tool that can be used to resolve confusion or issues. It also appears that there are some that will throw mud 'cuz its fun! Please let me know if you, or someone you know has a legit claim and have them PM first and I will explore matters with them and handle it.
 
Wow. He contacted me on some things. For whatever reason i put him on my ignore list. The only person on it. Glad i skipped his reach out to me for something.
Good luck getting your anything back from him.
I wouldnt give him a second chance to do the same crap over again. Are you's crazy ?
 
Rich,
I just sent over a PM and am unsure if it will reach you. However, if you have a personal experience that needs to be addressed feel free to contact me. I am easy to reach at [email protected] or you may PM me. Please bring a concern out of a shadow if there is one.
Thanks! Have a great weekend too.

Steve
 
Steve--Thanks to Tim Cole for advising me that a message was waiting on the BOI otherwise, it would be unnoticed as I am somewhat retired--my collection of rarities is mainly Lachesis and other neotropical venomous..also chelonians. Just hatched more G. flavomarginata- and attempting to obtain more T. rugosus and/or asper's. When you have a chance, send me your telephone number and maybe we can do some trades as I have surplus B. amarali, Aspidites species, etc. for trade and/or sale, etc. I am glad things are working out for you as I understand you had a rough time...Take care, Earl T.
 
Thank you Tim for letting Earl know I was trying to reach him. I sent him a PM with my number. Thanks again!
Steve
