First of all I'm sick of this attitude Warren. I wasn't asking YOU to remove IPv6 from the kernel.

I can see why people don't post questions to these lists when all they get is attitude and a never-ending run around. You don't seem to know where I should post this question, how am I suppost to? > Warren Togami > wtogami@xxxxxxxxxx > All I was looking for was a Yes or No not your opinion on everything except what I actually ask. This could have a been a *2* message thread...instead you turned into a crapfest by not reading my e-mails carefully and being rude for me asking a VERY SIMPLE question. Good Day, Stan
