Some years later I managed to send an offer off without a zip in the subject line. The control freak reply I got from a list mod was so off-putting I had to find a smarter place to give stuff away. If Douglas is basing the hopes and dreams of the anti-corporatist movement on Freecyle and its like the world is in a lot more trouble than I had imagined. @anon #3 True story, I started the system of putting your zipcode in the subject line when giving things away on Freecycle (at least in New York.)

Freecycle is OK, I've been in a number of lists for a while, but for the most part it is nothing more than a way for lazy people to get other people to come take away their trash, and for control freaks to go on psychotic rants when someone posts to THEIR list with a comma in the wrong place. If it keeps crazy people off the streets, then I guess it's OK. Freecycle, LOL.

And then, disappointment when I read the post :( Looking forward to the expanded paperback. Ideas to change things were what I felt was mostly missing from the Life Inc. hardback.
