SocraticGadfly: Craigslist or Can-Spam list?

Craigslist or Can-Spam list?

Sure, corporate advertisers may prefer Craigslist to alt-weekly print ads, but individuals?

Let’s put it this way: my position wanted classys on Craigs’ have drawn nothing but spam. I’m clearly asking for writing/editorial jobs, and what do I get?

NOTHING but sales-type offers. Now, not all of them are mall marketing jobs for 19-year-old kids, let alone pay money to work for us type stuff. BUT… any sales job in response to my position wanted ad is by definition spam.

And, on the personals side… well, I’ve been getting other junk in my e-mail junk folders recently, too.

Sorry, Craigs. You ain’t even close to “all that.”
