His choice of language was poor. I too believed he worked for IBM, and was
suprised because I knew that IBM supports IPV6 on AIX. His question is valid
though. How long before we see widescale implemetation of IPV6? My isp is
not yet prepared for it.

On the contrary, he mislead many of us by very poor use of language. The
most misleading part was, he should have asked IBM first before this
mailing list; the wording implied very strongly, and now we know
incorrectly, that IBM weren't yet developing IPv6.  And I think we might
be forgiven for assuming that the `director of development for one of the
TCP/IP stacks for IBM mainframes' probably did work for IBM.
