  I see that Grist removed the C&D letter from the article. Must have bought the All Rights Reserved poo poo.

  To bad it made for some funny stuff. Anyone interested can email me at
  sharingisgiving_owner @ yahoo.com (omit the spaces) and I will gladly send you a copy.

  Now the wonderful TFN is attacking Sharing Is Giving an Alternative to TFN. What a shame that Mr. Beal speaks of harmony with other freecycling organizations but in the dark of night is threatening us. Attached is a copy of a 2nd notice to Sharing Is Giving. The 1st one was funnier because they TOLD me to turn my URL over to them. So Mr. Beal come out of the Dark and let the World know your true feeling about other freecycle organizations and people.
  My Copy of C&D is what so many are receiving all over the USA and beyond!

  Here is the true TFN's feeling for others that wish to help our environment.

  Waste Lines

  Nice job by Matt, trying to stay neutral in a controversial issue as this, must have been tough. With big money behind Freecycle to protect them and help them control a grassroots group of people. Pumping money into legal fees against folks that chose not to do as forced to by Freecycle. Who has NO TM on the word freecycle BTW.
  What a shame that something that started out so beautiful became so filthy. Once money was brought into the picture, and greed rears it's ugly head all bets are off.
  When people are forced to make another an owner of a Yahoo group which they started, and this is strictly against Yahoo's TOS, and then publicly announce it, they should be shut down by Yahoo. Instead he has had Yahoo unjustifiably shut good groups down that don't do as he says. Again about the money.
  As Eric said, there are so many groups leaving Freecycle because the threats and unethical things done by them, new spin off groups are starting up all over, keeping themselves free and fun! A few others Eric didn't mention are www.freeshare.savethisplanet.com/,  www.sharingisgiving.org/, www.masscentral.org/ and so many more. Why is it that these are staying free and not taking money from anyone?  
  Nice job Matt, too bad you had to pull the real punches, but nice job.
