Dr Phil asked why CL has a fee and the sheriff of cook county said so they could track down ladies and arrest them...not much new but thought I'd post this.

I saw it too.  CL sure gets scarier by the minute...

Aside from all the spam and viruses hidden within links on posts
It's basically becoming a worthless un usable site.
why anyone pay a fee for posting to ERS knowing the dangers of being "watched" is beyond me.

Its not just craigslist that has all sorts of information. For all you CL bashers, CL was actually the last site where you did not need a credit card to post ads. Eros, Backpage, and others have required  credit cards for years and no one is concerned about the personal information given at those sites.  And, of course, just about every escort's personal web site requires payment of some kind, and usually that is a credit card or direct bank transfer.

I am not defending CL, just letting you know that there is not much informational difference between all the sites.
