Recently, I ran this ad on Craigslist for $25. I need help learning a computer program. A woman may be a skilled instructor.

This raises problems. The Craigslist murder suspect has been in the news. Women may be jumpy about responding to ad ad where they have to go to some man's home. They ought to be.

I wrote an ad headline that will remove this concern:

Teach Us Sony Movie Studio

The key word is "us." It says: "No lone wolf."

I don't want an alleged-rape lawsuit. The "us" says: "Not a lawsuit candidate: witnesses present."

This reduces risk on both sides.
