• 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....

... or possibly Guns N Roses "Welcome to the Jungle" Either way, I need some appropriate re-entrance music.

I'd been told that the reason I had wandered away for awhile had been changed back to a semblance of the way it had been before... Given that, I have returned and the people may rejoice.

Anyone not inclined towards jubilation... or who feels they have long standing arguments with me (I am prone to leave people wanting to holler at me)- I've been gone for a good long time, keep it in PMs or emails, at least until I ease back into things. I'll happily scream at you via emails over arguments we had two years ago... but Rich was nice enough to respond to an email I sent to let me know I wasn't banned, but cautioned me that the rules had shifted a bit and that I'd do well to familiarize myself with them to avoid... issues. So until I get a firm idea of where the line in the sand is these days, all those antisocial rants (by me and aimed at me) are going to have to be kept private if you want a response.

Now someone point me to the taxonomy forum and hand me a soapbox. I have catching up to do.
 
Seamussssssssssssssssssssssss, welcome back.

It's an interesting place now, rife with vermin yet resplendant with those who stand up for what's right.

Interesting times ahead, yes indeed, interesting times ahead......
 
And the people did rejoice.
And the Lord did grin, and the people did feast upon the lambs and sloths and carp and anchovies and orangutans and breakfast cereals and fruit bats......

A long awaited welcome back Seamus. Slowly the old crowd is being drawn back in. I knew if I was steadfast in my procrastination with visiting you at the RR you'd eventually wander back over here :D
