• 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....

Todd Gearhearts Tarantulas--Buyer Beware

Yes Todd I will be flagged for making a judgement call not entirely agreed upon, but my friend I won't be flagged for sending an overpriced snake with mites to someone in the learn. Then treeting him like it was a privilege to deal with you. Arrogantly denying any thing was wrong with the snake. Then taking umteen pages and umteen post to make amends, real humble. Cutting edge man...Cutting edge :rolleyes:
 
John, just so you know, there are a lot of people not in agreement with you. You have nothing more to gain by continuing this so it's probably best you walk away as you only stand to lose. Learn when to say when.

John's agenda and conflict of interest

John,

This is between Brad and I. It shall be humbly handled and to the satisfaction of the customer, but you keep showing your agenda here and accusing me of things and attitudes that I do not possess. You continue to attack me and as you do that your agenda is so clear.

I suggest your moderator duties be terminated immediately. If you continue your agenda, then maybe your membership on this site needs to be evaluated as well.

I'm on this site to buy, sell and learn. I'm not here to participate in your flame wars and hatchett jobs. As a moderator of any site, you have just shown what a moderator should never do.

You need to shut up, sit down and let customer and seller work out a resolution. Instead of re-reading the "The Art of War" again, maybe you should find a book and read it if titled "The Art of Net Forum Moderating".
 
A situation that could have been easily settled, snake that may, or may not have had mites, an ambush, a grenade blowing up in someone's face, a respected moderator, and his ass hanging in the breeze. An agreement to settle, a couple of good kicks in the ribs for good measure.

Just wanna make sure I had it all straight. At this point, I don't give a RA what happens to any of these players.
 
Todd, I did get your voice mail tonight and noticed you called later too. I was working (6-10) and just got home. As it is now 10.30pm here I will call you back tommorrow. I want to thank you for calling me!
