There is no moderator of this group to decide for you what you should
see or be exposed to. Pick yer pony, take yer ride.

Yeah Don, but here it's "Hobson's choice", but I stick around anyway.

It isn't Hobson's choice at all. There are moderated metalworking
newsgroups. That's where Jim Rozen went.


I know that. My metaphore was a bit sloppy. By "here" I meant on "this"
newsgroup where the next new post you open might turn out to be spam
or a stupid troll.

The Wikipedia link I posted had an apostrophy in it which my newsreader
didn't like and took me to just the name "Hobson" when I clicked on it.
Anyone reading this who doesn't already know the derivation of that term
and would like to learn it should try this link:
