Figured I'd post an update to clear things up sorta...
A while after I posted my response, Dan (owner) posted a reply to the thread. He replied to my paragraph about the city/state being redundant and said agreed, but said it wasn't pointless as it let people know when local pickup would work. I don't see how a zip code doesn't do the same thing.. He proceeded to thank Paul, the nanny.
Later, Paul commented that it was indeed a spoof and was being looked into.
Between these were postings critiquing other responses for not having a sense of humor or agreeing that the City/State/Zip requirement was redundant and useless.
Before posting, I did anticipate the nanny posting to be spoofed, but wanted to use it as an excuse to critique the new rules. Overall, I think everything may be ignored. Sometimes I have to wonder if they give any consideration to their rules and policies.
I may be writing a nanny directly in the future. There are ways to help avoid scammers, but the ideas they've run with so far aren't going to work.
