    **************************************************
    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....

It is what it is, but certainly not what it was.

Would be funny if it wasn't so sad to see such obvious incompetence at work.

"In the interest of cost savings and environmental responsibility, USPS has offered the new 'scenic route' shipping service. For a low flat rate price, your package will be placed on the next USPS truck that isn't full, going anywhere. When it gets there, it will be placed on the next truck with room, going anywhere. When your package eventually gets to your regional facility, it will be placed on whatever local carrier's truck has room and will be delivered to your address, or one on your block.

Sending something more time sensitive than canned goods or fossil-bearing rocks? Try one of our other services:

Priority Express -- when overnight would be cool, but no problem if it get there later.

Priority Mail -- not really priority when there's a faster service, but we couldn't think of a better name.

USPS Ground Advantage -- our slowest non-specialty service. Whose advantage? You ask too many questions.

Media Mail -- want to ship 16mm films? Player piano rolls? Or do you just miss the good old days of 1938? Select media mail -- it's the next best thing to the Pony Express!

First Class Mail -- we wanted to call this "steerage class mail" but Congress wasn't having it."

In all seriousness, I get good service from my local USPS, sincerely. Those folks on the ground take a lot of flak and keep on keeping on.
 
What astonishes me is the number of times that package had to have been scanned while in transit and no one seemed capable of figuring out it was going the wrong way.

I am glad the Pacific Ocean apparently stopped it from going any further west. :rolleyes:
 
I once ordered from China and after 6 months they sent me my money back and very next day I received package, lol.
