    I had an email from the local freecycle moderator I know and trust that we were changing to a new group, and went with them. Then a few days later I got an extremely vitriolic email from someone I'd never even heard of slamming the mod who'd been doing all the work for years, and claiming to be the real freecycle. I don't see why I should trust a person like that. I'll stay with the *person* I know, who's formed the new group.

    To be honest I don't really care what they call themselves. Our group changed name a week or two ago and I haven't noticed any difference. The big problem I have with it is that everyone who replies to me is a timewaster! Someone posted a wanted ad for books, I offered them loads and they kept messing me about not turning up.

    I have had some great stuff though.
