Yeah - the mods can be tin gods (not me of course). Some "ambitious"
wanted's are a bit of a nuisance, but when they learn a new porsche
isn't going to happen most start behaving.

Or pelple use it toi stock their ebay shops.
Yes, that does actually happen.

And do we actually care *what* they do with the stuff as long as:

1) We get rid of it

2) It doesn't end up in landfill?

A friend was about to hurl a large black bin liner in their skip and a
French GCSE book fell out. I asked why she was throwing that away and
was there anything similar in there .. the answer was because "we had
a clear out and 'yes' "? I mentioned that unless she took more
responsibility for what she throws away the baby she is carrying will
be knee deep in the stuff when it is 5 years old (she agreed).

5 mins later we had a few bits to go in the slip, a few of bits for me
(brand new Ir mouse, brand new mini digicam kit, brand new ADSL
filter) and a big bag of good stuff for the Hospice shop (because I
can't be bothered with FC at the moment).

All the best ..

(oh, and a bag of de canted paper / manuals for the paper recycling
box)
