[Noisebridge-discuss] more free junk!

[Michael Shiloh]

Thanks to the kind help of Peter and other anonymous assistants, all 
this stuff is unloaded and safely in NB.

I did hear an unpleasant comment on the way: One of the haulers said 
"It's all going to end up as junk, so why don't we just throw it out".

I resent that.

I've been carefully sorting out the tons of stuff that pass through my 
hands, selecting items that I'm pretty sure will be useful, and in all 
cases, asking via email first if anyone wants these items.

In addition, I always state in my email that if there is anything left 
over after everyone has picked over the collection, I will take 
responsibility for  recycling and/or disposing of these items. I fully 
understand how a place like NB could easily become a dumping ground for 
everyone's unwanted items, and I have no intention of using NB as such.

I take the time and energy to store all the stuff until there is a big 
enough pile, and then load it in my car and bring it over.

If this is not wanted, I'll stop doing this. But if anyone finds this 
useful, I would appreciate an apology from anyone who thinks this isn't 
the case.

I don't have the funds to support NB with money, but I have brought over 
some pretty useful material donations, I think.
