Craigslist Conundrums - A Bracketing Paradox and a Semantically Unclear Preposition

Following is a screen shot from craigslist that has a couple of interesting conundrums.



1. If the travel website is disabled, why do they need bloggers? Or is it a website for disabled travelers? [[disabled][travel website]] or [[disabled travel][website]]


2. Is this an ad looking for someone to write on the subject of caffeine or is it an ad looking for a writer who is drinking caffeine and is therefor "on caffeine?"
