I've been noticing an oddity in the South Florida bike listings lately, and I wonder if it's a side effect of the revamped format: There are far more miscategorized listings now, and it's not just the typical motorcycles. Today alone I've seen several cars, a catamaran, boat engines, an offer for website design, and two wtb ads from a book dealer.

I know we've got a higher than average allotment of numbskulls, but the trend seems to coincide with the change they made, I wonder if people are seeing similar things in other cities? I've seen mashup sites that hijack craigslist to display listings, maybe they can also be used to place ads using an API that's now partly broken?

On a related note, one of the most prolific and annoying dealers is using the "by dealer" category and I'm grateful for that, but several others and the pawn shops haven't got the memo yet.
