Hmmm that's a thick post alright, too thick to cut it out. Where abouts in the world are you?

I could send you the post puller of you fancy a crack with it or you could send me your frame. No promises it will work after two lots of caustic but it's not failed yet  :)

I'd say that was closer to being a solid bar than a hollow seat post
