    We don't need disabled lesbian niggers or other "groups" here - we need

    Technical experts in the FTSC who resort to these cheap insults are just as counterproductive as the non-technical experts you claim to despise.

    Time for you to get a node-number and contribute something ... anything ... Looking forward to that novell concept.

    Well, you'll have to look backwards to see much of novell these
    days. Same thing with banyan. ;-)

    That would be laaaaaaaaaantastic!

    You served the FTSC very well during your years as administrator
    and did Fidonet a fine service. I think you did your part. Why
    step on it now?

    It sure sounds like he's got a bad case of 'sour grapes'.

    Thats not even the half of it... we can't even make any wine from the grapes; just sour grape-juice not even worthy of a discount dollar store sale.

    Apparently the way for him to try to one-up someone is asking them how their IPV6 implementation is going... You better chop-chop there Dan and get 'er done otherwise you will get the frowny-face kitty-cat meme from him.

    Agreed. Very bitter.

    Heh. My ISP does not even offer IPv6, and I don't even care.
    Things are working just fine on good 'ole v4, and will continue to
    do so. The sky is *NOT* falling here. :-)

    If you're a leaf node with no downlinks you may be OK.

    But if you want to continue running a server, then eventually IPv6 is inescapable.

    So is the fact that the Sun will eventually become a Red Giant
    (and then a White Dwarf), and that will spell the end of the
    Earth. I'm not worried about that, either. ;-)
