Since I didn't ask to be publicly identified--let alone skewered--on Hackers.com, my manner of approach is irrelevant, in my view. I won't be so rude as to call your post "crap", but why don't you give an example of the "useful information" you say is missing from my ad that justifies you calling my ad "crap".
I haven't read any other thread on this site, but I assume "HN's approach to comments" is widely ignored?

Cnelsen, the major problem with the listing is it lacks any detail about the project or how you expect to execute it. If you think a program is summed up by 4 bullets you have no understanding of what is involved, thus, you are in short 'the nightmare client'.
Maybe if you had included some of your previous experiences hiring craigslist coders with references, you would be received more warmly.
As it stands, your ad is crap in that it doesn't provide any useful information about the job or compensation. In addition, you're either a Director at "Buddy Clubs" or a Independent Non-Profit Organization Management Professional, whatever that means. Neither title inspires much confidence in programmers.
