• 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....

[email protected] (Inquiry)

When I said I found out he didn't accept Paypal after I started the inquiry, I didn't mean this thread. I searched the posts for information containing 3113 or Thirtyone. I didn't find much since I didn't know Derek's last name. I then received an email back from him saying he didn't accept Paypal. I had overlooked that he had posted that at the bottom of his ad. Had I seen that part of his ad initially, I would not have responded to his ad. I wanted the snakes that he had, so I decided to inquire here about him since I had already responded to his ad. If no one had any questionable dealings with him, I may have considered another form of payment. At this time I'm going with my general guideline for doing business with ANYONE. I apologize for using the "lab rat" play on words. It was not in any way meant as a slight against Derek.

I do and always did get it Joel.
 
See what happens when I don't come back to this site for a week or so!

Anyway, Peter no hard feelings about the "lab rat" thing and sorry we couldn't do business. I am old school when it comes to sending money ot someone. I do not own a credit card (or I'd be bankrupt) and am not too big on online money transfers and such. If it was legal ot not frowned upon, I would gladly take or send cash through the mail. As a matter of fact, I did receive $60 in cash from someone earlier this year who purchased a mexican milksnake from me. He sent it priority mail and it arrived just fine. People have their ways of doing business and sometimes they don't mesh when you get 2 different people in the mix.

Take care all, and Rich, the bigger female hognose is a little grumpy......hehe.
