No, I can't be arsed to freecycle it.
That doesn't make sense.
You've already expended more effort on usenet than it would take to
list it on Freecycle.
You'll still have to wait in for the charity to collect it, or deliver
it yourself, so handing it over is just as much effort, possibly more.

As opposed to answering emails and phone calls from the Freecycle lot -
making appointments for things to be collected and waiting in for people
who don't turn up - and can't be bothered to phone and cancel?

I don't recognise this, nor a lot of the other, descriptions of
FreeCycle. I rarely give out my 'phone number and arrange most
collections by e-mail. Obviously a better class of FreeCycler round
here.
