A little harsh, don't you think? A member of our community thinks highly
enough of us to pose a rather technical question that he believes could
be answered by some of the folks on the list, thereby implying that the
folks on this list are, in fact, intelligent and well versed in
technology, and you have to go and prove him wrong...

As has long been the case on mailing lists, you have the right to read
or not read any thread that does, or does not interest you. If Dean's
IPv6 thread doesn't interest you, by all means, don't read it. But don't
flame him for asking a legitimate technical question on a mailing list
that is frequented by some rather technical people. I, for one, am quite
interested in seeing what this thread turns up.

And to put it in Myth terms, where will MythTV be headed in a couple of
years once TV's have their own IP addresses? Will we no longer need to
get a separate machine as a frontend? Will we just end up using ethernet
for communication between the frontend and the TV? Inquiring minds want
to know! :)
