Sorry Jerry, just hate to see posts deleted. I know you guys are trying to clean up the bad posts, no price, no location etc. Just try to keep an open mind on the thousands of people that use this directory.
It's always a hard task to "Train" users to do things in a different manner, especially one's that have been posting their way for years. When sites change drastically they usually do have significant drop off in their user base. It's especially critical on estores, blogs, etc. Thats why craigslist, Amazon, Ebay, etc do not change the posting rules, formats that fast. They gradually introduce a couple regs here a couple there, their main goal is to make it more useable, without loosing traffic and sales.
