No need. We can always go and find the information ourselves, if we
don't already know it. You're not making any new points with your
posts, for it is quite evident from the responses that you've been
getting that there are many people on this list who have a better
working knowledge of asteroid potentials than you possess.

My last response was not intended as encouragement for you to
continue this crusade of yours. Your last post was a marked
improvement in substance over your previous posts, but it wasn't
anything new to members of this group. You're not educating most of
us.

If you want to make original points, please do so, but don't troll
and flood this group with paste-&-copies of other webpages. No one
has asked you to post that information and your crusade for
asteroids is directed at the wrong group of people for we all
recognize their potential. Your aim to prove that they are the
answer for every solution is irritating and insulting to many people
on this list.

Do us a huge favor and join a Zubrin Mars-Direct group and crapflood
them. They're the ones that need convincing and probably haven't
given asteroids the thought and analysis this group has.

PS. The proper etiquette is to actually make original points in
these groups, not continuously cut-&-paste stuff absent a unifying
point. Further we like to dialogue between each other, rather than
just read all your copy-&-paste monologues.
