#3I didn't know what to expect from the title, but it wasn't that. That was amazing and heartbreaking, and reads like an elegant work of fiction. (The cynical part of me wonders if it is, but I don't like the idea and so relegate it to parentheses.)

#4I think a lot of people miss the point of this posting -- it doesn't matter if it's real or if it's fake, but rather it's an evolution of artistic expression. Someone is using Craigslist as an entirely new medium for writing a bit of poetry or short story. The potential for this type of work to reach people is huge, and that to me is the most exciting part of it all.

#5That's very touching. Wonder if it would lead to anything at all.

#8Fascinating. Using Missed Connections as a platform to set a context. It could be fictitious, but it's more than achieved its goal for everyone but the intended recipient.

#9How stunningly beautiful. It doesn't matter to me if it's real or not. The writer created a world and two people and I got to live that as the reader for a little while. If the writer sees this, thank you.
