Hello Wilfred,

While I agree that nodelisting a host name that has an AAAA record attached, implies advertising IPv6 capability and while I take the position that advertising IPv6 capability when one does not actually have it, is not recommended, I think a "wall of shame" may not be the right way to encourage Fidonet sysops to implement IPv6.

I can go along with that...

 WV> So mabye a "wall of shame" could encourage them to take action to fix
 WV> this either way...

Not seeing themselves on the list of fame, might do it too...


Cheers, Michiel
