Adventures in Craig's List

I know, I know. The big appeal of Craig's List is that it is free. You can write whatever you want without censors or pay and therefore, you end up with a lot of nutters. But for real - in attempting to look for an apartment, I would love love love to get in contact with someone at least marginally normal so that I stop getting emails that (a) are scams or be (b) I can't tell scam-wise, but are like this:

"I know that out there in the world of evil doers there are still God fearing individuals and i hope that you will turn out to be one of them since i am trusting you not to let me down.I As a man of God will stick to my words and terms of agreement and i hope you will honor
our agreement at the end of the day and that putting a blind trust in you will not make me
regret.I EXPECT YOU TO STICK TO YOUR WORDS. I am putting everything in the hand of God,so please do not let me and my wife down."

This, in response to an email I sent inquiring into how long the lease was.
