TP,
Re: If there had been a group cutting up the central core I suspect that someone would have reports of unusual 'maintenance' activities.
You leave me nearly speechless, here. Why would you, of all people, start to engage in straw man arguments? You present a reducto ad absurdum while, in fact, there are some things that do seem sinister in retrospect. For example, the bomb-sniffing dog patrols which had been assigned to patrol the WTC complex from 1993 onward were abruptly cancelled on September 6, 2001.

Subsequent to that, "construction work on fiber optic systems" was the reason giving for powering down the South Tower over the weekend of September 8-9, 2001, preventing normal surveillance camera filming, but allowing various "contractors" into the building unsupervised.
Re: Your 'pancake' theory requires that nearly every floor had been cut apart without anyone noticing.
Again, another straw man argument. The infamous "pancake theory" is what was sold to the American public by the PBS Nova program. I really am astonished that you assign this assinine theory to me. I certainly have disdained it and argued against it over the past couple years.
Re: Supporting evidence is that the second building, with the heavier top,
I don't think you have your facts right. WTC 2 was the first building to collapse. However, it was WTC 1 which contained the large communication mast and extra framing involved with that.
Please show me any legitimate source for your comment that WTC 2 had the "heavier top". This is the first time I've ever seen anyone make this argument.
*** Re: to keep people from investigating real mysteries, such as why no planes were put up to intercept any of the hyjacked planes,
Finally, something we can completely agree on. The bizarre failure of the FAA and NORAD, NEADS and the NMCC to respond on 9/11 is, to my mind, one of the key elements of the "false flag" operation we witnessed on 9/11.
One of the very best discussions of the "Standdown" or deliberate and planned confusion in the air defense system on the morning of 9/11 is this discussion by Michael Ruppert:
