If you really wanted to know, why did you "snip his post (unread)"?
I think perhaps you are insincere.

I don't really want to know, the question was rhetorical.


I think

Do you have any empirical evidence to support that ludicrous claim?


perhaps you are insincere.
Could be. Perhaps. Might be.

Yes.

Yawn You've failed to produce it. Assertion carries no weight.

Unsupported assertions, for examples, like
"I've snipped your post because you've snipped mine"
as oppopsed to snipping for lack of an answer, or just
for gratuitous spite.

Of course, we're already mining an asteroid for nickel.

Only because there was no transportation cost in getting the asteroid to
the Earth.

What method is that, wait around until one falls from the sky by itself?

it's that sudden stop at the END of the fall.


When the Europians went to the Americas they didn't plan on bringing
the content home with them. This is what you are actually talkin
about?

A bit of rhodium and perhaps a few car sized diamonds.

The rest of the ore will come back machined into interstellaar space
ships.

Or perhaps escape pods..... lets call them escape Ark's to get some
biblical velocity into the topic.

So you have no evidence that you think, as was apparent to begin with.

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 cheapskate free advertising
for profit, 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.
