Hey, I exchanged messages with Craig himself
about some problem or other.
I was quite impressed that thee Craig Newmark would personally give a careful and thoughtful response to a minor “nag” I sent.
I took the opportunity to give him my personal “thanks” for having originated/invented/created etc craigslist.
Incredibly, unlike so much of correspondence on the internet, HE RESPONDED A SECOND TIME!!!
Apropos my comments, there were people in NYC abusing the rental system. Professional agents were posing as “common folk” and not paying for their listings. Craig Newmark wrote them, saying “this is Craig Newmark, of craigslist, and you cannot…etc etc.”
To which the New Yorkers wrote back, ” You’re ‘Craig Newmark’??!! Hey, I’m the Emperor of France, if you need to know, so beat it..etc etc”. They ignored his admonitions for a while, until actions that spoke louder than e-mailed entreaties brought the reality to them.

Everytime
(snd it’s VERY weird posting in a game day thread two days after, but I just now saw this) I see someone who’s not listing in the right spot, I mean professionals trying to pass themselves off as “normal folk,” I report them. Every listing. It’s kind of a sacred idea to have these things remain free and unspoiled by the marketplace. Or to allow the marketplace in, but be able to easily set them aside in favor of a real person to person contact.

Oh, I didn't have a hand cart
I was picking it up, carrying it a few feet, setting it down to take a break, and so on. Fortunately I was moving it from my friend’s house (two blocks from a BART station) to my place (four blocks from a BART station), so I only had to carry it for six blocks total.

I have a theory about Huston
I think that his suckage is due to his trying to learn from veteran presence Embree. Embree mockingly calls him “smoke and mirrors” and encourages him to “go after hitters”—but Huston is far better if he actually uses his slider to set up his fastball. And now both of them are “going after hitters” and getting ripped.
But then, I’m drunk, so what the heck do I know…
