Considering the first one I had at home foamed up for no apparent reason, with 1/3 of it ending up on the counter, I won't take that chance! ;)

you need to flag them on either site in order to get them removed. i flag every one, but it takes more than one person to make them come down. they do seem to drop faster on kijiji than cl, but maybe they're being more aggressively flagged there. the more of us who flag, the faster they drop.

Oh, I'm flagging them alright...but you're right...they get pulled down on Kijiji much quicker.

The Craigslist ads from earlier today are now gone....

yeah, that one doesn't mention "westvleteren", but if you're searching for that, "westy", and "trappist" (as I am) I think you catch 'em all. I've been flagging that one, but i think it takes a certain number of unique flags before it drops.

Here's the traffic spike during the Westy frenzy. All the first timers have left the bar and but the regulars are still here :-)

I'm assuming x axis is "Days".

I see two horizontal bars, is each bar "Thousands of Unique Visits"?
