As a side note: Facebook has SSL access, but Facebook Chat doesn't work with it. I use HTTPS Everywhere, and for any sites that don't use SSL (cough SLASHDOT cough) I just use non-standard passwords and take the risk, and be aware that what

This is so annoying. What a useful tool... I know it takes some bandwidth, but craigslist is pretty obnoxious for not only remaining so far behind in data searching, but for blocking anyone else from improving the site. Craigslist is like P
