That's what I'm saying. If they were really interested in someone else
benefitting from their used stuff, they wouldn't put it out in the trash
for another week, or even two, to give people time to pick it up.

All they are *really* interested in is getting rid of it. Who takes it (the
trash man or anyone else) really doesn't matter and it doesn't take much
effort to post a CL ad just to be "nice".

If I hadn't spent so much time replying to Bob, and on technical mailing
list. I'd probably have comments. But I've run out of steam.

....or I could just be right.
