Tomes

This is a list of postings that I feel are in some way definitive. Each one is probably a lengthy posting, thus the name of this page – Tomes. In many ways they are my personal favourites, I hope you find them useful as well.

October 2007

• 40-tonnes-per-day-only-a-slight-exaggeration or is it,
• freecyclers-are-very-patient-people because they are,
• tfn-has-no-complaints-process because I feel at last I have understood and explain a major core problem,
• does-more-members-mean-less-landfill looking at a wider issue of concern to the freecycling movement,
• what-is-good-enough-for-phoenix-should-be-good-enough-for-you shows that TFN is choosy about which groups it complains about,
• a-change-from-org-to-network-or-website helps you understand an important distinction of freecycling groups,
• think-of-a-number-and-then-double-it a bit a fun with a serious twist,
• moderation-in-all-things another wider issue of interest to all moderators and
• did-you-know-that a survey of freecycling networks.

September 2007

• phenomenal-growth-of-the-freecycle-network matches the size of someone’s head,
• were-99-against-the-climate-change-bill-submission is about an issue that may never go away,
• a-flawed-process well actually, just one of many that need a very major overhaul,
• are-the-police-coming is on this list as an example of when this blog pushes the envelope,
• reputation-trust-and-integrity is a subject that should be close to everyone’s heart,
• the-landfill-test-is-not-definitive looks at why people freecycle,
• within-without-keep-moving highlights two definitive resources for the moderator who has an open mind and
• deron-speaks proving this is all about free speech.

August 2007

• my-final-word-on-finder wasn’t my last word by any stretch of the imagination, but it certainly is definitive,
• subject-notice-of-infringement-date-tue-7-aug just one part of the whole sorry tale,
• good-morning-free-recycling-world the moral of which is don’t go on holiday.

July 2007

• first-30-days this blog was just beginning to take off, but I did not know that then,
• ok-kath-of-north-port-fl-freecycle-here-goes an example of where ignorance is not bliss,
• the-blissful-ignorance-debate pawn to K4,
• the-sydney-north-whatever-story is still read today,
• i-want-tfn-to-have-a-future a very misunderstood concept,
• what-does-it-mean-to-affiliate yeah, right. No really!
• taking-the-money-and-running when there is distrust then rumours abound,
• warning-a-purge-is-in-progress just one that shows the real pain,
• a-lesson-in-etym-athingamajig you don’t say!
• his-masters-voice-has-spoken biting of bully beef and not for the last time,
• dont-you-just-love-em Cease and Desist revealed,
• captains-log-star-date-may-25th-to-jun-1st evidence to the contrary,
• yet-another-disenchanted-group-of-freecyclers oh, I was so naive and
• dear-moderators-of-freecycle-crunch-time-is-coming-be-prepared perhaps the most widely ready post of all time.

June 2007

• anatomy-of-the-creation-of-a-horrible-person-like-myself no, I mean it!
• a-change-in-the-climate propels me into the debate and
• what-has-been-my-involvement everything you ever didn’t want to know.
