what does the craigslist posting id signify? is it unique?
At the bottom of every Craigslist post is a Posting ID (ex: 4232458431). Is this ID unique to every post? Is it linked or related to the poster? just wondering if I can see if the same person is posting stuff under other names/posts.

Posting ID is assigned to posts as a unique ID number (10-digits), but only within the same location and category. That means that for your local CL city, a post in Apartments/Housing For Rent can have the same ID as a post in Computer Gigs. Same for different cities, with a post in NYC Computer Gigs having the same ID as a post in LA Computer Gigs.
