I hope that at least in Fidonet we can manage it. AI can be a usefull tool, even to help people configure their IPv6. But we should not use
it to generate text in echomail messages.

I'm assuming your "new rule" is in regard to my recent post to Beeeorn.

Here I'd thought you'd been around a while. That text is not
AI-generated, and in fact is about 30 years old. It's been posted a
million times over those years. It is widely accredited to a dude named
Guy Macon. Sheesh.

Don't believe me? See here:

Speaking about IPv6: how are you doing? Does your provider support it?

No, they do not at this point. I am guessing it will be one of those
things that happens that we are not told about until we just notice it. ;)

Let me guess: you are stuck with them? No competition in your area?


Cheers, Michiel

If you take a look at the list, which Michiel has updated for the Fidonews like clockwork every Sunday at 22:00 CET for years, you'll see that around 80% have Native (i.e. from their provider) IPv6.

You'll also see that the remaining 20% all but one use a tunnel from he.net. So why do you have to wait? Get ready for the future, already.
