It's more the idea of the philosophy behind the page, and the idea that we
don't want anyone thinking that we're trying to be picky. If an offer comes
to Jpaul for a pallet of 486's, well, he might not want those. He's more
into big iron. But me, I'd find that interesting as I would love to try
doing some things with Linux on them, clusters, etc.

Being a curator on the site doesn't mean you have to take anything that comes
through. What it does mean is that if you find an offer, try to contact
another curator to take it for you if you don't want it, that way the
absolute minimum gets trashed.

That's the whole idea...no one wants to force anything on anyone. :)
