I still don't see why he, or me, or anyone, would want to do that when 
it offers absolutely ZERO "capability" to what we already have.  My IPv4 
network works perfectly, and there is no sense making it more 
complicated for NO REASON.  There is NOTHING GAINED by flailing around 
with configuring stuff endlessly, and even then.... as I've told you 
already, I do not have native IPv6 available.  So that would mean MORE 
flailing around to get a kludged "tunnel", which again.... adds ZERO 
capability to what I already have.

I wish you could understand that.

I really don't know why you can't.
