Title of the message:
Stuck with an unwanted basketball pole

Text of the message:
During a bad windstorm six months ago, the wind actually snapped off a
pole by my driveway, onto which was mounted a basketball hoop and
backboard.
I figured that, come spring, I'd just hacksaw the remaining stump of a
pole (about four feet above the ground) and be done.  No such luck.  The
pole is 1/8-inch thick hardened steel, and worse, it's filled all the
way up with cement.  Besides hacksawing, I've tried:
1. Digging around the cement, in hopes of loosening the thing and
pulling it out.  But even though the cement is only about 10 inches in
diameter at the surface, the more I dig, the wider the cement base seems
to spread.  And goodness only knows how deep it goes.  I can see myself
tearing up 15 or 20 square feet of lawn just to find the true perimeter
of the cement base, then winding up having three or four feet of cement
under the ground - way too heavy to tip or pull out.
