Who Are We?The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling. We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.

Can someone tell me what Craig’s List is? I’ve seen it in a lot of places, but it doesn’t seem to be a blog.

Craig’s List is a community which originally served the San Francisco Bay area. All sorts of stuff- think of it as a big classified ads column and semi-discussion forum.
Remember- Google is your friend 😉
It’s:

They really are shysters at Geocities. Sorry folks.
I think of Graig’s list as a giant “classified ad” site. It probably has more to it.

It looks insane.
By a simply incredible coincidence, The (Barclay-brothers owned) ran a piece on Craig’s List today. Trawling sites for story ideas.
Telegraph. (Link)
Oddly appropriate that ‘bugger’ was used as an exclamation in this thread, as gay hook-ups are what really caused Craigslist to first take off.
(not that there’s anything wrong with that)
