    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 Smith (Deal Gone South)

Birds of a feather

Greg,

It's probably not fair to throw everyone in the same bag, just because Steve used them as a reference. It's quite possible that Brian Sharp, John (Rich Ihle's partner) Doug Matuszak, Mike Smith (Kansas City), and Craig Tanner are not aware their names are being dragged into this. I have personally dealt with at least three of them and would vouch for their integrity. I'm pretty sure that if we contact either one he might say "Yes, Steve bought from me, and he paid on time". That's probably as far as the reference thing will go.

Regards.
 
Alvaro,

I myself have dealt with some of Steve's other references and mentioned that in Steve's thread. I have nothing but praise regarding my dealings with Rich Ihle and Brian Sharp. You're correct in saying the others should not be dragged under because they were used as a reference by Steve and I did not mean to do so. I think Steve and Todd have much more in common, however. Their guarantee is good right up until it comes time for them to honor it. Sorry, there are only two birds here I'm referring to.
