Re: [prague_freecycle] IKEA bed support


hi all

i am not a moderator here, neither was i with my group in toulouse. but i do know that freecycle is not only a czech thing, and that there are common rules (that people agree on when they join the groups), and that the idea of freecycling is to give away unused (or no more useful) things. give them away, not swap them.
i do understand that swapping is a great thing, but i guess we should find other places to do that, and maybe include, in the information here, links to such websites, but keep the idea of "giving away for nothing in return" here. it is, to me, a very different idea.

as for the personal things here, i don t really see the answer as bitchy, although maybe, the capital letters can be interpreted as anger or something. so if i may give some advise here, please, people, calm down, we might be only 3 or 4 active persons here, let s not make it die ... !
it might not be a very czech habit (yet ?) to do such things, and i admit i personaly don t have many things to give away anymore, but that s not a reason to kill the group,and on the contrary more of a reason to advertise it and its principles to people around us, and make it grow, as it does in other places.

and, ezra, why not simply giving the bed support ? and posting another ad if you need something specific ?  a friend of mine might be interested by the bed. i ll tell her to join the group !

i wish you all (...4 of u, ahem) a very nice day, and i wish the group to grow friendly !

:)

Yael, You are utterly correct.  I had not read through the rules carefully so I wasn't aware of the no swapping rule.  You are also correct that I...
