Subject: RE: BS: Web sites where you can give things away
Like others have said - Freecycle. I'm a member of Freecycle in my area. It's a great resource for finding household goods my indigent patients need, and I have gotten rid of a number of servicable items quite quickly by posting to it. However, in my area at least, it means I get anywhere from 20 to 100 feecycle e-mails a day.

I have them all go to my 'suspect mail' folder, and if I am not looking for anything, simply delete them en masse. Even so, the sheer volume is kind of a pain to deal with, and I sometimes inadvertently delete other e-mails from that folder that I should have opened, simply because I overlooked them imbedded in the middle of a couple of pages of freecycle messages.
