Craig's List: No Reason to get account

I just learned that even by creating an account with Craigslist, the site provides no means to Save listings (for later viewing). The only tool the site offers is the Email to a Friend, which 'savvy' users know can mean 'oneself.' Of course, one can also copy and paste into Word or a note pad. (See earlier post).

At Craigslist, an account is for people who POST, not look.

Not convenient at all... I reckon Craigslist doesn't have programmers building new functions. All the more reason they should at least pay to make the listings XML friendly. This would pave the way for easier Exporting of listings.
