I've decided to go ahead and post my ad on bostonapartments.com. The trick was to leave out my phone number. (Actually, I left it as "please email".) I figure that this makes it easier for me to filter people who clearly lose. See for example the one response I already got, from a person asking who said he needs to move in May (while the ad explicity said June 1) and misspelled "ad", the sort of mistake that signals (at least in native English speakers) that the person probably doesn't read much, and hence probably wouldn't be a very good fit, as they say.

I guess I'll do some bullet-biting and post to a local social mailing list or two, since some friends on alien lists have offered to do this for me.
