    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....

I don't know who this guy is but he is using the same name as mine but spells his SOUTHERN SERPANTS, mine is SOUTHERN SERPENTS. I dont know anything about him but he is trying to copy my name and posting items similar to what I post. I dont know if he is trying to steal my buisness or trying to pass himself as me. IF you deal with anybody on here with the name, make sure it is the REAL SOUTHERN SERPENTS, not this fake copycat who just misspells the name.
 
So, who are you?  What's your REAL FULL NAME?  I don't think your name is REAL SOUTHERN SERPENTS, and you need to follow the rule when you post here, or your post will be deleted.
 
I am sorry I didn't put my name and such at the bottom of the page.  I was in a hurry to get this posted because it kind of ticks me off.

Hey,
  I am the dude he is talking about. I did not know of him or I would not have picked this name. I am sorry and will change it. I am not trying to copy anyone or do anything like that. I am just trying to sell a few snakes so that i can afford the retic cages that i need to build. Again, i am sorry and this is the last post you will see by this name.

ok it's me, Southern SerpAnts. I created a new account with this name. I do not know how to delete my old account so it is still there but i will not use it anymore. If anyone knows how to delete an account let me know so  I can do that. I hope no one thinks I am a crook or anything. I really didn't mean any harm. I didn't know someone had already taken that name.

Thank you for bring this to everyones attention.

Because we all know there are crooks out there.

As to the other Mike.

No harm was done here because you addressed the problem and let us all know is was a mistake.  Stuff happenes.

There are people around that will try to copy others name.

Thank goodness this isn't one of those times.

Mike,
    I think you did the honorable thing by coming on here and offering to change your name.   I should think with an attitude like that you will do good business in the future.
    Good luck!  And I like the new name. <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

They both joined in August.

It is kind of weird and all but I accept your apology, and I respect that you changed your name and got everything straight.

It's rare that something on the BOI gets solved that quick and easy !  Kinda nice don't you think ?  Too bad it can't happen like that more often huh ?

Hey Mike Webb

You still owe us a refund or something from a deal way back when--I cant believe I missed you posting here.
Remember us, or how about Arnie Thompson--about a year and a half ago, we were calling your mom, your grandmom, etc...and never heard anything from you after we sent you money.
So, now you are back trying to be a business? How about making up for some past mistakes. I think we tried to contact you repeatedly for about 2 months after our "transaction". You decided to diconnect your phone instead of give us a refund. $40 was all you got us for, but I know there were others....: ) And it appears that you are back at your old tricks.

Thanks Casey for bringing this back up.

Dana Pennebaker--it was my husband Loren that sent you the money and who you dealt with.
