    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.....

    =====================
    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....

Again you can't seem to get over the hump. What I've done is state "my" experiences with Shannon and you don't like it. Well sorry there buddy but I have nothing but good to say. My word is as good as it gets. I've only sold or traded quality animals that are feeding with a 30 day guarantee. The animal will be replaced asap. I've never had a complaint. I don't need to prove myself. You'd be better off worrying about your reputation because of your little outbursts.

You know, Steve, I've watched this thread and your silly little bragging about all of your vehicles and your "growing" finances (as if we're...ummm impressed) but one thing I have always observed over the last ten or so years is that people who feel a need to post on the Internet in ALL CAPS or all in bold or in large fonts usually are trying to make up for something they otherwise are lacking. Which of those applies to you is obvious, what is lacking is merely a matter of speculation.

Putting your words in all bold lettering does not make them more important, more believable, or even more relevant. It just makes you look like an attention whore.
 
Steve I have a great idea for you.Pay shannons debt of $2200 to rodney and then Shannon will pay you back because he is such a stand up guy.This way we can all move on to other issues.Terry

Your obviously clueless, because I am not frustrated, bent out of shape and have not even come close to an out burst. If you know Shannon as well as you claim to know me...well again your an :censored:

You know nothing of the way I do business, do you see any posts here ( or anywhere else) of me screwing any one out of money or selling them a poor specimen..... do you?

And once again you can continue to argue w/ me to distract what this whole thread is about.

And if you go back and read the posts you'll see, I don't really care about your experiences w/ Shannon. I responded to some comments you made.
And you didn't seem to like them.

I thought the bold button was there to be used. I've done very well for myself and I'm proud of it. So there is no reason for me to ever be ashamed of the fact. I'm lacking nothing that makes life great. Thanks for your concern though. It's appreciated. And thank you for your reply.The attention is priceless. :IThankYou

I said he's always been a stand up guy whenever he and I had a transaction. Your comment is laughable though. Stand up stuff.

I don't have a problem with your comments at all. Just the fact that you have a problem with mine. And your name calling is obviously nothing new to the forum with your warning level 4. Also, I don't care about your experiences with anyone either. As far as your business is concerned..LOL . I'll say no more. :toiletcla

Boy you sure do like putting words in peoples mouths ....where do you see a threat?

I'm just calling like I see it.
 
Warning Level #4 !! Holy Crap !! Lock the doors !!! Where's my gun Martha ???

Rattler, to say you are grasping for straws (bold, italics, and underlined .... impressive huh?) is to put it mildly. What;s next, DefCom 5 ? :eatsmiley Someone call the President.

So flustered you couldn't even use it correctly. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: It is there to be used, when appropriate. When you always use it, it loses its effect, or rather, has another.

Being well off is not to be ashamed about. Bragging is another story. I'm not ashamed of my balance sheet either. Heck, I retired at 41, all self made. But that is not a measure of my worth as a man. Sadly, people like you measure yourselves that way. But then you sound like the guy telling about the fish that got away...

well well well, look who making the threats.
nice private message, you didn't want everyone to see your threat.
who's frustrated now....who's blowing up now ?

If you want to threaten me and say that I'm hiding behind a computer then take to ride north and see what you get. You started this crap with me but I'll end it real quick.

I'll have a few tables in Raleigh this weekend stop by and see me hotshot
 
Jim and Jim it's nice of the both of you to join the party. :?party But it's almost time for your warm milk and Mylanta. Just because Homegrown herps give AARP discounts it doesn't mean you have to take sides.
 
OMG ...I havn't laughed that hard in a week.. Jim that last post was priceless.

Rattler please...no-one is threatning you etc.. calm down, this is just a discussion.
