I've found the quality of the lists varies a lot from place to place.
The Cambridge one was excellent - prompt moderator response, people adhered
to subject line format, there was a good balance between things being
offered and things being asked for etc.
At the other end of the scale, my local one these days is a bit of a
disaster - and I had trouble getting on that one at all because I had I
.co.uk address at the time I signed up, so hit the "you don't live here"
problem.

I
was rudely told that I had been (unjustly) accused off-list
of 'stealing' from someone's porch a broken laptop that I had
inquired about but that had been promised to someone else,
and without any notice or opportunity to respond I had been
summarily banned and was even threatened with police involvement.
I have been banned from a local to me group because "you don't live
here". It is the closest one to me and how they know where I really live
is beyond me. I can't get "un-blacklisted".
