What advantage does Linkedin have as a host for a discussion group compared to
Google Plus?

LinkedIn is a professional networking site. It has been accepted and
is used by professionals who wish to network far better than Usenet,
Google Plus or advertising driven machinist / CADCAM forums will ever
be.

How does a hobby group such rec.crafts.metalworking fit into this business to
business model? To me they seem like separate worlds.

Please don't feed the troll, Mike. But many of us here own businesses
and "do" LinkedIn. I wasn't aware of their hosting discussion groups
for metalworking, but after checking, I found 35 of them there!
Amazing. www.linkedin.com , Groups menu, Group Directory.
I doubt they have the panache of beautiful "this area".

From what I understand..Ive been a lInkedin member since its startup.
Shrug...I only recently posted my data and let it do its thing with
it.

I pay less attention to it than I do Facebook. Facebook, I get on
about every 2-3 Weeks and save some of the better photos and whatnot.

The methodology of the left has always been:

1. Lie
2. Repeat the lie as many times as possible
3. Have as many people repeat the lie as often as possible
4. Eventually, the uninformed believe the lie
5. The lie will then be made into some form oflaw
6. Then everyone must conform to the lie
