Is there a twelve step group somewhere for Craig's list addicts? I found hundreds of twelve-step books, manuals, workbooks, videos, cassettes, and DVD's on craig's list but haven't found one twelve step group.

craiglist has the problem of only having your add posting in one place because of their database structure. If Im selling a car in Seattle you have to go to Seattle to see the add. Your add should be visible to anyone and thats why I prefer Sellitforfree.com .

And why should he not do it? - The laws were changed by politicians bought by google and others so the big corporations could get away with murder - literally - when ever they wanted. Now someone else is in there using laws the criminals paid for.
It is not a sign that craigslist is dangerous.
It is a sign for our laws protecting criminals and not the people.
As appealing as the query could be- as one goes to the site and uses the search engine, I may be one of the few that has not been to the site- for that matter, I just may go to it now... ;-}

Once I was searching for a job ad on craigslist I had responded to. The ad had expired. So I sent them an email asking if it was possible to retrieve that ad since I needed that for certain claims. Very soon I got an email from a person 'craig.' I asked him was he The CRAIG. He answered 'yes' and told me that he would try to find it based on the keywords I had supplied. Very soon he found it and the ad was sent to me.
Thanks Craig for the great work you have done for millions for us - I have found roommates (my current housing was found thanks to craigslist), gone out on dates (any cute girl interested in a lefty Indian vegan?), sold items, found jobs etc etc just like hundreds of thousands of people like me - without spending a single dime. Thanks again.
IndianVegan: Once I was searching for a job ad on craigslist
My biggest concern with Craigslist is that it has made it too easy to get jobs. I know that sounds ridiculous on the surface, but the fact is that the process of job hunting used to be just enough work that people would only apply for the jobs for which they were really interested in, and the recruiter's work was half done.
Now, people don't have to hunt. Craigslist essentially gives them a mailing list of people that might give them a job, and they can just apply for everything they see. As a result, businesses get an overwhelming list of applicants, many of whom will do anything to work but most of whom are in no way qualified. The solution? Now most companies pay $12 an hour for jobs that used to pay $19, and they offer the minimum benefits required for the job, instead of a competitive package. It used to be that such things were the sign of a recession, but this time around, the meat market craigslist created was more of a cause than an affect.
Good lord, my comment was longer than the article itself. Sorry.

You have some good points. Also, the recruiters are like the union workers that are being put out of business! One other negative is that you have to be very careful about which ads you apply to. Some are not legitimate or are not people you would want to work for. Another argument for the recruiters.

Businesses are not lowering wages and offering less benefits because "craiglist makes job hunting easier". They're doing those things because unemployment is around 10% and "real" unemployment is between 15-20%. Thats why some corporations and wallstreet want to keep high unemployment, and is one of the reasons behind the GOPs opposition to unemployment benefits.

Please explain why they would want hi unemployment?

Your argument would be stronger if lowering wages had come after the economy crashed, but wages vs. inflation started dropping like a rock about 10 years ago, when our economy was still fairly robust, and about the same time that classified websites started boasting that they were the #1 place where people were finding new jobs.
I also know from actual comments given by hiring managers.
