    Craigslist has always been a mess both functionally and substantively. That the newspapers couldn't figure out how to compete with them on quality is stunning.


    Half the clist job postings in my area seem to be scams -- people collecting email addresses, pirating resumes/contact lists, etc. -- or from flakes. I was shopping for a used car three years ago and there were a lot of junk postings in that section too.

    I tried to buy a used "t-4-m" robot for my Star Wars collection. When I went to pick it up, some gal with a wiener explained some interesting stuff to me.

    Well, Craig, that legalese certainly gets in the way of a thread of double entendre, winks and nudge. You clearly fail to understand your utility here.

    If you're going to be a scapegoat of an ineffective government, you might as well get paid for it.

    "Under pressure from state officials after a Boston medical student reportedly killed a masseuse he met on Craigslist..."


    Then why not just do this for boston.craigslist.org and let the rest of us keep taking our chances?


    I'd actually be really interested to know what rate of assaults/killings per erotic services encounter is.

    And compare those rates with those of say, writing gigs or some other categories.

    I've always thought it's very strange that prostitution is in fact legal in this country, as long as you are running a video camera.

    At my first magazine job, someone in production had to apply the black censor circles over the explicit areas for the adult porn section in the back section.


    This was a magazine for electronics enthusiasts I should add.

    I wonder if this will change things for the gays who post in the LTR- "Long Term Relationships" section when they're really just looking for anonymous 20-minute hookups. Or so I've heard.

    Sex workers just need to create a new and exciting set of euphemisms. Might I suggest two hundred barnacles to scrape the hull of my dinghy? They could just close out the ad with a wink wink so only those in the know would know.
