the very real downside to freecycle

i love the concept of freecycle, which is similar to the craigslist free section. lots of items that would have gone to the trash have instead gone to someone's home. but perhaps because of a timelag or people signing up for digests, or - this is my blog afterall - people just being morons and not reading, i will get emails and emails and emails for my item way after i've posted that it's been taken. i'm sure i will get random emails 1 and 2 weeks from now asking for it. just. go. away.
