I use craigslist all the time. Well, less than I used to. Recently, more and more low-life scum are putting up pages and pages of items for sale that nobody wants (unsolicited commercial advertisement; spam). craigslist used to provide a place for community members to find each other. You have a job, you want a job, you have a place to rent, you want to rent, etc. Now, it is inundated with spam postings and nearly useless. Craigslist isn't spam, but a growing number of posts on craigslist are spam. If I want to buy a t-shirt, I'll google for t-shirts. How much broader an arena should people feel entitled to? If the seller is in Texas, why the hell should his wares appear in San Francisco's craigslist? Whether you think he's a low-life spammer or not (he's admitted it), why are you defending him when he's breaking the rules on craigslist: """ Additionally, you agree not to: ... v) post non-local or otherwise irrelevant Content, repeatedly post the same or similar Content or otherwise impose an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on our infrastructure; w) post the same item or service in more than one classified category or forum, or in more than one metropolitan area; """ http://www.craigslist.org/about/terms.of.use.html Paul -- http://paulmcnett.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
