Big +1 there. Way to go CL, instead of providing real help in identifying con artists, let's just brand any potential out-of-town buyer as a scammer instead. I've had a number of info requests on VX's ignored no doubt due to this message. Do they honestly think with all these mash-up sites out there that no one legitimately uses CL to buy things they can't find locally?
