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

What the h***??? KARMA points???

Greg, is it truly necessary for you to truly understand? I mean this in all honesty.

Do you need to know Rich's inner workings to enjoy the site? Is it too much to let Rich go on this journey of self discovery? It is his playground and we did ask permission in the long ago to come here.

I do understand your not understanding but what I don't understand is why YOUR understanding should be important.

Again, I'm NOT trying to pick a fight here, Just curious.
 
Hmmm. Seems to me that not that long ago, someone was whining about not having the money to keep the site running.
Does it help to drive people away?

Guess that is my point, after all.

Why continue searching for crumbs? If you don't like it leave. I really don't see Rich caring either way about some people leaving and not returning.

For everyone that leaves because of the changes, another will join for the same reason. Some will like it, some won't.

I really don't see a mass exodus because of these changes. If you choose to leave because of them.... I would suspect you were here for the wrong reasons to begin with.

JMHO
 
I agree, this site will continue on and on...and probably do quite a bit of good, and unfortunately, some harm...but I guess you have to take some proud flesh with the diseased to make a wound heal.

Perhaps I am too idealistic when it comes to discussing the business fates of people in the trade. It would be nice if things were fairly rendered, prior to judgement.

As far as my choice goes, it seems that my mind has been made up prematurely by the powers that reign. Hmmm.

Ok, I guess I am officially at a loss for words...where, oh where, did this one come from???

Some people like it. Others don't. Most probably don't care either way. Par for the course around here. If you don't like it, ignore it.
