No more curb alerts.

Freecycle asks that members do NOT post curb-alert posts (such as "It's on the curb, whoever gets here first can have it.') Posting in that manner encourages many people to head that direction, and 99% of those people will walk away disappointed and empty-handed, after having expended a great deal of time and gasoline for nothing.

Please pick out a few items, post them and set up a specific time for folks to pick the items up. This approach may seem like more work but if people are making unneeded trips for nothing, it will sour them towards you and towards Freecycle in general and that's not good for anyone, not to mention the hit on their $ for gasoline and the time they spent coming to get an item that someone picked up a few seconds before them.
