Some people seem to think that they're entitled to hitch a ride on the huge network effect craigslist has acquired through years of patient effort. The folks are shocked,shocked that craigslist isn't thrilled to let them do so.

Well there does seem to be a sort of a "tragedy of the commons" effect at play here. CL is sitting on a natural monopoly, and not only doesn't seem to quite know what do with it, but let's face it, has also become something of a slumlord (in certain segments).

So people feel understandably cheesed and disappointed. But to say that they feel "entitled" to the spoils of another entrepreneur is a bit of a stretch.
