2. Heh. Not a judgemental question - I'm just curious!

Really. I've gotten rid of a lot of crap with Freecycle.

3. I have

But the list got so busy it was very hard to keep up and I unsubscribed. I still like the concept but I've been using Cragslist's free page instead. I've given away far more than I've taken in on either venue.

4. Depends upon your interpretation of "use" - I subscribe, but I've never

actually offered or taken anything.

5. I have once.

I did it as an exericise in socialization, more than a giving/taking thing, but I got some great wallpaper.

8. I've been trying...

I'm not having any luck on either the giving or receiving end, however.

9. I signed up for my local Freecycle...

it was (and still is) mostly baby clothes and old furniture, both of which I really don't need at the moment :).

11. I'm registered and on the list

after I've packed the boxes for my move, I'll be on there trying to get rid of the stuff I don't want to take with me.

12. Yes, I just got rid of a pile

of Vegetarian Times magazines that I was going to trash because I just didn't have the room to store them. You would be surprised how many people wanted them. The only thing I don't like about FreeCycle is that people get rid of unwanted pets and I usually post to those people about the dangers of giving away a pet to just anyone.
