I have decided to now close the website altogether. Some people just aren't worth your time or energy. And I've decided to complete free up my energy from someone who was never worthy of my time or admiration, and to forever free it from his yuck factor. I can only hope that "someone" has learned that you don't use and abuse people. I haven't received an apology but I made it clear how I felt about being taken advantage of, and hopefully he will think twice about taking advantage of anyone else. At least he is aware that ingratitude is not freely propagated without causing heartache to the recipient. And that sometimes wronged people speak out. As for the rest, I'll leave it up to karma. Eventually, somehow, some day, everyone has to meet theirs.
JUNE 3, 2008: It has come to my attention that today over 500 of you who have entered this website have received the URL via email. Please note that aside from my personal friends, I have NOT sent this website's URL to ANYONE via email!!

If you have been the victim of spam, I apologize for any inconvenience and please rest assured that I AM NOT THE AUTHOR OF THOSE EMAILS!!! Someone (hmm...?) is trying to get this site taken down, hence the spam/emails.

Also, please know that it is possible to FAKE the "from" line of an email to make it look like it is sent by someone else!! (This is how scammers manage to make emails look like they come from eBay, Paypal or other legit companies when they DO NOT!!) Depending on your email provider, you can reveal the "long headers" of the email: please check your email "Options"; this will reveal the real IP where the email is coming from.  You will need this IP whenver reporting emails as abuse so that the right culprit can be sanctioned.

It is very likely that the spammer used the "Tell A Friend" service button at the "emails" page, bottom right column. If you have received a form email from Bravenet you most definitely have the sender's IP! That email will have "---- would like you to visit this site" as subject line and the body of the email will be a box with this site's URL inside and the following text:

BRAVENET TELL-A-FRIEND SERVICE
me me has sent this website recommendation to you
using the Bravenet Tell-A-Friend Service:

I found this great website and thought I would pass it
along for you to check out as well!

Bravenet Tell-A-Friend: www.bravenet.com


All you have to do is go to your email options, reveal long headers ("all" headers in some email providers), and the sender's IP will be revealed.  Please make sure to include that IP when you email to report spam/email abuse.

Again, my apologies go out to anyone who might have been inconvenienced by this inopportune email of June 3, 2008!!! Please rest assured, I have NOT spammed or emailed you. I hope that whomever is behind this will learn that their deceptive and manipulative tactics will always backfire against them; give it a rest!

Thank you for your time and have a wonderful day.
