I dunno about wikipedia, but craigslist is "anti-commerce"? I bought my
car from a craigslist listing, I've bought computer and DSL gear from
craigslist listings, that's what craigslist facilitates, can't get more
commerce than that.

I expect there's negative things to say about the folks who run
craigslist, but I don't have a clue what they are, aside from maybe
people who sell advertising find craigslist cuts into their income. Ten
years ago, I would have bought a car from the newspaper classifieds. But
like I say, I dunno.
