Tony:

I think I understand your perspective, but try not to get bummed. Discussions
such as this indicate interest & willingness to be involved.  You should be
more discouraged if people in positions such as mine (operator of a fairly
large university network) tuned out & vowed never to deploy IPv6.

Wake up, then.  Based on Noel Chiappa's browbeating & Brian Carpenter's
relevance admonishment, I'm accepting the multi-address thing (on faith until
I can rationalize it) & focusing on the effort as currently defined.

I apologize for the diversion, though I assure you that it was well intended.
