clearly you have not had the sad misfortune of dealing with me in person
before saying "friends" :-) At least not before two coffee in the
morning. So about that .. will here be a European tour libCurl conference ?

Every day .. twice on Sundays. Really .. I am one of those people that
thinks that we ran out of IPv4 a few years ago and IPv6 really is the
next way to go .. but it just doesn't get traction because of all the
legacy money out there. This is a money issue, not technology. If all
our devices all supported ipv6 and the home routers shipped by the
bottom of the barrel telecoms supported ipv6 then maybe it would get
traction. However for now I don't see enough of ipv6 out there, yet.
Certainly my websites all run ipv6 and my own BIND servers all support
ipv6 but most places, companies with their bottom of the barrel
wordpress sites don't have a clue. Sorry .. just ranting that I think
ipv6 should have been really adopted in a wide net way at least ten
years ago.

nope .. no way could it have been. Perhaps someone aimed for the "6" and
hit the "4" with a wide miss. :-\

It is essential.
