I've had different experiences with Freecycle. The Denton County group was 
easy to deal with and gave me no problems. The East Dallas group is 
considerably more hidebound, at least from a moderation standpoint. They 
also prefer to deal with some things "administratively" instead of setting 
them out in their rules post. But I have managed to get some useful items 
and get rid of some things that way.

Once I get the house remodeling finished and I'll probably drop the mailing 
list, as I won't need to squeeze anything else into this place.
