    What I would really like is to be able to make some posts public except for specific aspects. In that way I could, say, announce details of a meeting at a local hackspace in Manchester - and exclude the rest of the world from having it turn up in their stream. That way I could also create links to the post on twitter, FB and identi.ca - as most of my contacts on those systems are local. Instead I end up creating an extra Posterous blog post, and linking to that - which is more work.

    Cheers — I'm not actually trying to bend it (more trying to avoid that!). I'm making a Hurdy Gurdy, and the aluminium shaft will stick out about 1cm from the end, so I want to avoid it bending. As soon as I can access a more powerful lathe, I'll make a stainless steel shaft, but for the moment ally'll have to do.
