Well, you're already screwed then as the ISS isn't now, nor planned to
be in the future, involved in any significant investigations of such
things.

You must be an American. The ISS is INTERNATIONAL, read the small print.
As a multinational project, the legal and financial aspects of the ISS
are
complex. Issues of concern include the ownership of modules, station
utilisation by participating nations, and responsibilities for station
resupply.

No, I'm just someone actually familiar with the station and the
general types of science it is equipped to perform research into.

That you simply reguritated a heap of irrelevant text rather than
refuting my claims as to the types of science not being performed
tells me much.

Your ability to say "No, you are not an American" and foretell the
future tells me you are a ****wit.

Do not reply to this generic message, it was automatically generated;
you have been kill-filed, either for being boringly stupid, repetitive,
unfunny, ineducable, repeatedly posting politics, religion or off-topic
subjects to a sci. newsgroup, attempting free advertising, because
you are a troll, simply insane or any combination or permutation of the
aforementioned reasons; any reply will go unread.

Boringly stupid is the most common cause of kill-filing, but because
this message is generic the other reasons have been included. You are
left to decide which is most applicable to you.

There is no appeal, I have despotic power over whom I will electronically
admit into my home and you do not qualify as a reasonable person I would
wish to converse with or even poke fun at. Some weirdoes are not kill-
filed, they amuse me and I retain them for their entertainment value
as I would any chicken with two heads, either one of which enables the
dumb bird to scratch dirt, step back, look down, step forward to the
same spot and repeat the process eternally.

This should not trouble you, many of those plonked find it a blessing
that they are not required to think and can persist in their bigotry
or crackpot theories without challenge.

You have the right to free speech, I have the right not to listen. The
kill-file will be cleared annually with spring cleaning or whenever I
purchase a new computer or hard drive.

I hope you find this explanation is satisfactory but even if you don't,
damnly my frank, I don't give a dear. Have a nice day.


For the benefit of lurkers:
Wackypedia defines an Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is
someone who posts controversial, inflammatory, irrelevant or off-topic
messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum or chat
room, with the primary intent of provoking other users into an emotional
response or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion.

Plonking someone can hardly be the action of troll.
