That is indeed a useful thing.

Agreed, and same here.

As I tried to tell Michiel, I am not arguing *AGAINST* the progression
to IPv6. It's just that it's not currently available to me, and I see
no reason to jump through hoops for it at this time (like using a
"tunnel"). When it becomes readily available, I'll start using it.
I think maybe I'm just "anti-evangelism". I don't like being preached
to about how I should be doing something that doesn't make sense to me.
Michiel is a little too........... preachy, for me.
... Gone crazy, be back later, please leave message.
