DISQUS

Matthew,

Caigslist shouldn't have any claim to the craigslistblog.org and should have lost all claims to the craigslist.org domain when they turned for profit, *way back*, (unfortunately the dot org domain remains unregulated so craigslist still gets away with redirecting traffic from craigslist.com to craigslist.org continuing to give the appearance that craigslist is still a non-profit).

I didn't have a problem with the original communication. It was a little bit lawyerly and cold of course, but isn't that the point? I suppose they *might* have caught more flies with the proverbial honey by offering to move them over to alternate URL (perhaps?), but the point was to basically scare squatters (in craigslist's view -- and I think they have a pretty good case) off their land, right?

And I get the feeling -- particularly in learning about the misleading text ads -- that Tim and co. wouldn't have been so friendly toward any suggestions from craigslist.

Craigslist is just getting way too big headed for what they are . Sure you have free classifieds, but there are a lot of free classified sites out there with half the egos
