Precisely what 'people' are you referring to?  And, in what way does it
seem we are trying to force you into 'selling your souls' to a big ISP;
I really don't understand what you are referring to....

I, for one, what people to have connectivity.  You seem to have yours.
I'm truly glad.  I don't want you to move to IPv6 unless you need it.  I
want IPv6 to emerge (if it is going to) to provide connectivity options
to those who will come later and not be able to get a v4 block like
yours.
