At last count, I’ve used Craigslist to sell a crib, a VW van, a dishwasher and a rusted-out old stove. I’ve bought toys and books, found jobs and places to live, enjoyed the “Best of” list immensely. I’ve met some super kind people. But I have never, ever used it for its “hook-up” properties, although apparently, that’s what it’s famous for. I mean, I’ll go to a stranger’s house to buy a dog-eared, vintage 70’s edition of “The Joy of Sex” to give as a gag gift to my husband, but beyond that, I can’t imagine.

They’ve recently added a bajillion more towns, so even if you’re nowhere near its Bay Area birthplace or any other major city, you too can enjoy the modern miracle of posting anything you want to sell/buy/meet for midnight nookie.

I’m telling you this because not only is “Craig” in Craigslist.com Jewish (along with being brilliant and humble), he says Leonard Cohen is his rabbi. And even though he’s an eligible bachelor, he’s never used his list for a sordid rendez-vous, either.
