Another coincidence ? :) Let me see if I can speed this thread to it's eventual conclusion. :) Hitler clearly went into hiding and became Buddy Holly, who died in the plane crash. His unground supporters masterminded 9/11 in his memory as a means to use up all the IPv4 addresses sparking a revolution of socialism during the transition to IPv6 lead by Barack Obama. But what most people don't know is that Hitler was just a messager from Xenu, who are fighting a proxy battle with the Raelians on earth for control of the universe. The Japanese have taken up the fight, as the Raelians are here as whales. It is the whales, er Raelians who are pushing for IPv6, so they can address the entire universe when their scheme for world domination finally succeeds. This is why Japan spent so much energy with IPv6 early on, so they could develop a stuxnet like virus that would infect all of the Raelian IPv6 devices and destroy them. It's all really quite obvious, I don't understand why so many people don't see the connections. They are all here in plain sight. I really should stop watching cable news. :) [For the humor impared, some or all of this message may be totally made up.] -- Leo Bicknell - bickn...@ufp.org - CCIE 3440 PGP keys at http://www.ufp.org/~bicknell/ pgpCDfhhjGGPc.pgp Description: PGP signature

And exactly this song was later rephrased as 'the day the routers died' concerning IPv4 exhaustion at RIPE55 meeting. Another coincidence ? :) -- In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. But, in practice, there is.

RE: And so it ends (slightly off topic)
Folks, Somehow, it is appropriate that this should happen on February 3. On February 3, 1959, Buddy Holly, Richie Valens and JP Richardson (aka The Big Bopper) died in a plane crash. Don McLean immortalized that day as "The Day The Music Died" in his 1971 hit, "American Pie". Ron
