Not quite true. You can offer items out, or offer to take items at any time. You don't have to do both. Once you are on the broadcast, you see the offers or wanteds coming across with email addresses tied to them. It is simply a broadcast service. No "paying it forward" required.
It is basically a Yahoo group, set up in various locales. I see the Exeter, Dover, and Rochester lists.
