I don't recall ever being contacted by you.  I get a lot of email, so 
perhaps I didn't notice or it looked like an unsolicitated resume or 
some other type of university spam and was summarily deleted.  If so, I 
apologize, but like I said, I don't think that you ever contacted me or 
our 6bone alias.  That being said, I don't think that you should 
generalize about the responsiveness or helpfulness of an entire company 
based on a single experience with another.

If you do legitimately contact somebody on a one-to-one basis, and have 
no luck geting a response, why not try calling them out on the list. 
Shame motivates.

If you are located in the state of Kansas and are involved in I2 
research, then I would think that you would want to contact I2 regarding 
IPv6 connectivity.  See the news release referenced at the following link:

http://archives.internet2.edu/guest/archives/i2-news/log200208/msg00000.html

Or am I being of, "no real help" here?  It seems to make sense to me as 
I2 _is_ the organization that supports _universities_ in this and other 
areas.
