	Bob can't serve people forever.  in fact, he is a bit older than my dad
	(IIRC), so he should have some plans on retirement and such.
	i consider a system broken when everyone depends on single person.
	(for instance, what happens if Bob experiences a car accident?)

	i really hope major ISPs outside of Japan to roll out IPv6 services
	based on sTLA address, and remove the needs for volunteer-based 6bone.
