• 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.....

    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....

He's definitely a busy little beaver. I'm betting he thinking, law of averages, the more people he hits up, just one maybe gullible enough, and wallah "PAYDAY" We all know, there's been several who have fallen for this scam.

I'll not miss the BOI, but it has been a great tool in outing scammers, liars, and thieves.

 
I told him my uncle who works for the FBI would handle the transaction for me... for some reason he didn't get back to me.. LOL

I had someone try to pull something similar on me many years ago. What I did was to keep coming up with excuses about why the shipment didn't go out yesterday as plan. Dragged it on for a week or three. Then told him it had shipped! Then kept on coming up with confusion on why he hadn't received it yet. Then finally said I was going to send out another shipment, since the first one obviously was lost. And again, not understanding how the shipper could screw up a second shipment. And I didn't have a clue about why the tracking number wasn't working for him...

I hope it drove him crazy. :rofl:
