LOL, isn't that the truth. We ought to call Rich "The Mongoose" with all that reptile handling. Welcome to the forum R/427. Love that C3

Well I don't want to seem unfriendly to other websites. I think we should all get along together and play nice. Every forum site is different and has it's own reason for people to be there. So I just don't want anyone to think I am stepping on their toes. No, I'm not really AFRAID of pissing off someone, but I just don't want to do it. On one of my other websites, things get very intense and I get threatened with lawsuits about once a month or more. I just tell them to "bring it on". So I hope you all didn't think I was suffering a terminal case of wimplash here.

Thanks Tom!

Actually it wasn't intentional. It was a hobby that just became a business behind my back. People started calling ME to buy snakes from me. I never intentionally did that to make money from it. Now I have people all over the world asking for my snakes by the name of my business like some sort of brand name. Go figure. I was just doing something interesting. I work with genetics and have been fortunate enough to come up with new genetic strains. It's kind of a trip to produce something that is completely new and unique in the entire world and be the first to ever see it. And to realize these creations will now exist long after I am dead and gone. Not too many things in this world that you can do quite like that. Not tooting my own horn or anything like that, fully realizing that I am only the biggest fish in a very small pond, but it's very hard these days to be considered the top in the WORLD in anything. So I will take what I can get in that respect...

You haven't met my kids, obviously. Guess I can make the same claim as you

Yeah, but I can SELL my creations and be done with them.

Well it looks like DigitalCorvettes didn't like me contacting a couple of their members.

Guess I will have to live without that site now.....

My take on this is that you are spamming. Your own rules say that to "please be courteous when promoting The ALL Florida Online Corvette Club by not spamming other web sites" Spam is defined as unsolicited e-mail. It is the same as the junk mail you get in the mailbox everyday.

Actually you are not defining the term "spam" fully nor accurately:

Quote:

SPAM: Unsolicited e-mail, often of a commercial nature, sent indiscriminately to multiple mailing lists, individuals, or newsgroups; junk e-mail.

So what I am doing fails the more accurate description of "spam" because of a couple of points:

I am not offering anything of a commercial nature.
The invitations are not done indiscriminately, as they are targeted exactly and ONLY to those persons who I feel may be interested in a site of this nature. i.e.: Corvette owners or enthusiasts residing in Florida.

To date I have not had one person complain about receiving one of my invitations to this site. To the contrary, most people have thanked me for setting this up and letting them know about it.

But thank you for registering here to only give me your opinion on this matter. Very kind of you.
