// @name Craigslist Spam Buttons v1.3.9
// @namespace http://www.stillnetstudios.com
// @description Displays buttons on the item list so you can flag items as spam without having to click on the item and view it.
// Usually spam is pretty obvious and doesn't require viewing the item.
// I see a new "FREE 4gb Ipod Nano!!" item every day for example.
// Special thanks to Steve Sweet for his work on this latest version, the script
// is more user friendly now and works much better.
