• 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....

Why must things be Sugar coated?

You seemed to be disagreeing with my perception, that's all I was really responding to with that part (and, for the record, one of those places came right out and told me that they didn't like conflict). I think many of us have either seen, or been part of, those situations on other forums. If I can't civilly dispute something that is inaccurate, or even something I just don't agree with, I usually don't stick around for too long (wow, that makes me sound like I'm always looking for trouble...am I really that bad?).

I like the places that when somebody "unknown" chimes into a discussion (debate) with something that is somewhat contrary to the popular view (or affirms the less popular view), everybody just ignores them and pretends they aren't there :ack2:
