• 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....

HI All,

I just received an email from "[email protected] by Kingsnake Canada".

How wonderful that I was wise enough to download the file to a floppy disk and my Norton AV caught it. I don't think it can infect my hard drive by doing it that way but I am checking. The only connection I have had to anyone in Canada was via Practical Pet Care.com if I remember correctly. I will have to post a thank you thread on their site. Be careful, I almost opened this one directly thinking it was in reply to one of my postings on that other site. Of course I don't think anyone at the site itself had anything to do with this, but one of their users may have either sent it to me purposely or unknowingly. Be careful

Best regards,

Glenn Bartley
 
It sounds like a version of the klez virus. Its been bouncing around the herp community for a few months now. I get one or two of them a day. The more people that have your email address the more often you'll be receiving the little bugger. It's a medium threat virus.
