Indeed. I tried to join the Springfield Freecycle, and they insisted
that I need to join the one in Menard County. I'm in Springfield every
work day because I work there, which I explained. It cut no ice with
the Springfield people. We have about the same ratio of population as
you do Lynda: some 300,000 to 400,000 in the Springfield area vs less
than 15,000 out here in the boonies.

Some people are just too deeply into control.
