Please see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_y36fG2Oba0 This song exactly explains why you should care about IPv6 :) I don't get this "anti IPv6" behaviour. If people are not willing to adopt it, it will not get tested which in turn will make other people hesitating to jump on the bandwagon. Having it compiled in your system does not cause harm if you don't configure it and for everything else there are traffic filters. Just like IPv4. - Ruben --Apple-Mail-75-935427659 content-type: application/pgp-signature; x-mac-type=70674453; name=PGP.sig content-description: This is a digitally signed message part content-disposition: inline; filename=PGP.sig content-transfer-encoding: 7bit -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (Darwin) iD8DBQFHzrJaZ88+mcQxRw0RApDAAJ0TgaZHpxbiWa6smndzowk1ih0AIgCfV2kG kfOed70fpateOIIjw7bkBCs= =6X+h -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Apple-Mail-75-935427659--
