Freecycle Denied? pop portrait, trade, dehydrator

So this post is a big ole "????????" I applied to join the local freecycle group bothellsbest. Thinking of course to enhance our already reuse,repurpose and recycle lifestyle only to be denied. So, I guess my question is "whats that all about"? Anybody else been denied? Why would they do that? I even sent them a link to this blog so they could see what Jimmy and I are doing. Oh well looks like I'll have to find another place to trade fine art,homegrown produce, and other odds and ends of an artisan lifestyle. So we will try here. I need a dehydrator asap... a good one. Anyone in Seattle want to trade for a pop portrait of themselves or a loved one like the one I use for my avatar?
