Jim and all,
No, you give everyone else a break. And while you are at it,
get a grip on that attitude you seem to be displaying here.
Yes I know very well that IPv8 is not part of the ipng list
forum, and I only mentioned it in passing as in comparison
nothing more, so cool you jets fella!
The alarm was not raised originally by me as to the privacy
concerns with IPv6, they were raised by others on the IPv6
working group originally in several IETF drafts by others that
are authors of those very drafts as far back as 1997. So this is
nothing really all that new. What is new though is the lack of
addressing those privacy concerns to date despite them being known
for some time.
