    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....

RED ALERT: Stop SF Pet Ban Now!
The San Francisco Commission of Animal Control and Welfare will vote tonight 7/8/10 on a recommendation to enact an ordinance that would prohibit the sale of pets by pet stores. The proposal originally targeted dogs and cats, but as voted on by the Commission appears to include Reptiles, Amphibians & Tropical Fish as well potentially feeders. This could potentially ban all pets in San Francisco.

Please take Action Now to Stop the San Francisco Pet Ban!

Are y'all SURE this is the right place to send emails, that is in the instructions with the USARK emails? Here is the response I got today, after following USARK's instructions and sending my response:

Thank you for your recent email about a proposal to ban the sales of birds and animals from pet stores in San Francisco.

We recently have received a number of contacts about this issue. However, looking back two months, I do not see any legislation introduced at the Board of Supervisors that would ban the sales of birds and animals. Perhaps another body (the Animal Care and Control Commission?) may be discussing this issue?

Thanks for your input, "
