The few persons I have talked to find the picture overwhelming or
unconvincing. I had to explain to a government official that the
internet is not Facebook. I'll copy this message to Logan as he can
confirm whether it is true or not. I'll remind a few of my clients
of the advice I have given previously if they ask me about
IPv6-related problems. A few reporters might call me for an analysis
or to verify the information they have been given.
I agree that a few people talking to themselves is pretty boring. It
is a huge effort to discuss about that and it is currently not in my
interest to put in that effort.
