I came across this today. The guy must have been burned in the past by people responding to CL ads. On the other hand, if he wants someone to take the tree out properly, it is probably going to make some work for him as the owner. Obviously he's put work into making a substantial e-mail instead of spending the same amount of time with a saw. I guess I'm lucky, I've gotten a lot more out of CL than the effort I've put into dealing with people (so far at least...)
