There is no reason at all why I, as a FreeCycle group owner, would
refuse such a posting.. I would activley encourage this kind of action
as it means that people have a chance to recycle/reuse older hardware..

I would put the post up, if it's refused refer them to me.. I'll explain
to them what it's all about..
