Craigslist does not have a public profile option for its users. In fact, you don't even need to have a Craigslist account to post an ad, since you can manage all your ads through your email account. That being said, people who post in the discussion forums do have to create "handles" or user names. When you click on someone's handle, you will see when the person created his handle, how many posts he has made and his email address.
