yeah the post was intended to be of a humorous nature but looking back at it now, it just sounds really snarky. apologies.
I do remember meeting and liking the mofites that showed at the jersey meetups a few years ago. and it was in this spirit that I was asking mofi to join us tonight.
champion, I was looking for something interesting to read until the second half of the vance collection finally ships.
in cj cherryh's alliance/union universe, one of the standard methods to turn a planet into slag is to simply build up near-relativistic speed in a large carrier ship and then drop large chunks of matter down a planet's gravity well.
they left out one that I really liked... if you take a ball of neutron matter and drop it from orbit, it basically has enough momentum to punch all the way thru the earth and come out the other side, and it will keep doing that for a fairly long while.
(ok, similar to #4 but not quite the same...)

sorry flashboy can't help you with the name, don't think I've read it; I heard the idea from a physics prof, who very well may've read that same book.
