my point is that Craigslist is quite literally breeding the perfect spammer, and the only antidote is all-paid listings.

how would you compete with Craigslist? Be more free and less crappy? I think the way to compete with CL is to help the spammers.

Craigslist's problem is that it wants to act like a non-profit, but isn't. And it's run through a cabal of secrecy.

There is no inherent moral right to make money doing something, eg, classified ads. I have a real problem with that.
