Oooh! I should start a twitter account, call it "flag alert" or something, and get followers to flag CL ads ... just an idea... what do you think?
Follow the steps in my tutorial, and if that doesn't work, I need to find out and post an updated version :)

Funny! I just read this after checking the mail and receiving the package!
Thanks SO much!  Really appreciate the thoughts - It's been crazy and emotionally devastating, but trying to move on and getting clothes and nice thoughts really really helps :-)
thanks :)

I used Unseek software's Craigslister eAssistant Full Version  -- it was only $49 and did a great job for the projects I used it on. The software is very user-friendly and I was impressed at the steps that the company takes to prevent piracy while maintaining a reasonable price. Recently, since craigslist started requiring phone number verifications for most categories, I haven't wanted to go thru the expense of buying craigslist phone number activated accounts.

Ooooh that is a good idea!!
Craigslist needs moderation. Not alot - because otherwise erotic services will invade more mainstream dating and services, but more than is current. My biggest pet peeve has been responding to job ads only to get responded to by MLM and other scams. I am sure that there is a BIG problem on Craigslist with stolen merchandise-- because unlike Ebay, your real identity isn\'t linked to your posting.

When I lack ideas to write about, I take a picture (usually of my bird) or post some old pics. Since I blog about photography and my bird, this works :-)
When I'm inspired to write, I write... and schedule the posts to appear so it evens out the posting interval.

Interesting discussion! I just changed my internet/professional name to Crystal Kelly after getting totally sick of people misspelling my real name (Jessie) or thinking I'm a guy. This isn't even getting into issues with my long-arse ethnic last name. I really don't know why I didn't think of doing that before 3 months ago...
I've used the same graphics/profile pic/screenname on almost all my social networking profiles and between ping.fm and profilactic.com I am able to automatically update the profiles while not spreading myself too thin.
Your blog is very interesting!

I noticed that I've gotten alot of traffic from MBL... and it sadly beats Google Connect (which looks similar) at this point. MBL is alot more user friendly!
