Does this make me a terrorist network administrator, for trying to help by showing how I might try to use one of the features of IPv6 in the real world ?
Please do not bring up terrorism on this mailing list, not only is it in-appropriate, it is in particularly bad taste after the recent bombings in Bali. I'm hoping you haven't forgotten the sad events that occurred in your country just over twelve months ago. We here in Australia certainly haven't. As Vint Cerf wrote in a RFC recently, The Internet is for Everyone. Once everyone has it (I'd say one of the fundamental inherent goals of IPv6), hopefully the world can become a more tolerant place through communication, allowing better understanding of different peoples view points and beliefs. Hopefully the world will become small enough that there will eventually be no "us and them". Your views seem to me to be similar to those that cause terrorism in the first place. If they aren't, then using terrorism and the reactions to terrorism as an example of why a feature should or shouldn't be implemented in IETF developed protocols is offensive, insensitive, and irrelevant.
