    **************************************************
    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....

Rich can definitely speak for himself, this is my personal observation:

1. Warnings and/or infractions may have been issued privately and none of us would be the wiser. The OP has since stopped commenting and as far as I can tell did not escalate her comments to "profanity" against another member.

2. They apply to all.

3. Rich specifically referenced "POS". There are sections regarding "Profanity" and "Overly abusive towards another member" in the rules of the BOI. I think Rich did the right thing in this case to publicly address it in an effort to help curtail things and help put the thread back onto a more professional tone. There is a link at the beginning of the BOI titled:
Rules for Posting on the BOI <-- REQUIRED READING!!
 
That discussion would be more appropriate in the Feedback Forum since it's getting off topic.
 
In my opinion, usually the person with something to prove, and has a valid claim, is usually the most passionate and active person in said thread when they KNOW THEY ARE RIGHT. Especially if they started said thread. She answered not one of my questions, not that she is obligated to. I think Bill is spot on here. Elexis overstepped her bounds and she knows it. God forbid she has a neighbor with a baby who cried two minutes beyond Elexis' tolerance level. I'm sure a call to child protective services would have fixed the crying, while ruining the parents lives. Just sayin'.
