 MvV>> Sad indeed.
 DC> I don't find it "sad", just "reality".

It is both.
Reality AND definitely sad!

 DC> I have no option to get/use IPv6 here where I live.  It's not offered

Yeah ... see above ... very sad indeed!

 DC> Well, it's not actually *needed*, is it?  Fidonet is working just
 DC> fine here on IPv4, just as it always has.

That depends.
If you have a CGNNAT IPv4 you can only make outgoing connections. (you are NOT reachable by others!!)
If you have IPv6 only you have NO connection to any IPv4 only node.

 DC> Most people (including me) don't care.  When the v4's run out,
 DC> things will be different.  For now..... it's not needed.

IPv4 HAS run out!!!
New ISPs only receive an emergency IPv4 allocation. (/22 I think).
