We could eliminate divorce if we simply banned marriage?

We could eliminate product tort claims if we simply eliminated product
liability laws?

Does the difference between criminal and civil really matter in this
discussion?

When HE started on the IPv6 road, we thought a /32 was more than
we could ever conceivably use, too. We had no expectation that IPv6
would lead us to where we are now. We're glad it has, but, that
wasn't what we initially expected.

That was my point. Until you get more fully deployed, you really
don't know what your IPv6 world will look like.

You are welcome to buy from us. ;-)

There are a couple of others, but, I'm not here to promote HE, let alone
our competition.

That's probably true... I can think of one I know for sure that can do that
for you on IPv6 and one I think is likely. If you look at where AS1734
is homed, you'll probably be able to identify both.
