Yep. I simply put in my ad that I won't respond to the 'is it available' and other nonsense. And I don't, simply ignore it.

Same. I normally will meet at one of the Sheriff's Office sub-stations. Safe spot to meet. And if they have an issue with meeting there it's an automatic red flag and I pass on meeting them.

Over the years I've had one no-show which isn't bad. Normally I meet some good people and have even chatted after the deal a few times.

Interesting. Do the Sheriff's sub-stations normally allow this for anyone or do you just know someone there? Is this something they generally do? Which Sheriff's office are you referring to?
I can speak to Pinellas, Hillsborough and Pasco. They encourage it. As other above have mentioned there are others. It's a safe spot and many are on camera as well.

I bought a gun from an ATF agent in a McDonald's parking lot once.
