I do freecycle in RL, which is also vastly impersonal.

My first instinct is "hooray! a place to give things away". (Which I declare is entirely different from "gifting" which is much more based on willingness to give and serendipity, but that's another story.)
But then I realize I'm dealing with strangers on the Internet, not someone who I have direct interpersonal contact with. So then I'm much less likely — after all, the way to abuse someone is to make them not-a-person, and what better way to do so than by relating to a username, icon, and city. So although I have a lot of stuff that I can share,
So as much as I'd like to make a connection and give stuff away, I'm going to refrain.
I hope you all are not offended.

Well, you're flying out here for the event anyway. Just give yourself a few extra days to see what else America has to offer, and ygmir's pile of cool treasrues.

dang, it'd be nice for someone to get use of it.
I hope, folks post here, what they're wanting, maybe I can remember, and find it for them.
I hope this thread works better than mine........
