I can't afford to post stuff to Europe. Or replace what I send. As it is I give most of my old stuff away, but that's to people who are a damn sight poorer than anyone who can afford a net connection. Heard of starving people in Africa? AIDS orphans? People dying like flies in Zimbabwe? I'm sorry, but this concept smacks of a sort of warm-fuzzy dilletantism. Like trying to stop a tidalwave with a sandcastle. Frankly, it's a cute idea, but only if you're rich to start with.
