Because maybe then you would stop harping at people to "convert" to 
IPv6.  But in reality you probably wouldn't stop, even then.

There is no "my ignorance" here.  You seem unable to understand that 
using IPv6 doesn't benefit me in ANY way, and the hassles of trying to 
use it therefore don't make any sense.

It's funny how you're more than willing to "spend time and energy" to 
evangelize something that is useless to many (most?) people.

I don't recall him saying his IPv4 isn't working well, but OK.... that 
would be a different situation, if it's actually true.

I doubt that will happen, and if it does.... then I will learn how to do 
it, as it would have a purpose then.  Right now it does not.
