We need IPv8. Oh wait, where is Jim Fleming ?
Oh wait. We need IPv10. Where is the las troll ? can't even remember his name, pathetic.
Jim Fleming, we need you back. Seriously, the latest troll attempts have been quite unsatisfying.

Owen, I am not going to share my address format with you. You are not ready for it.
Do you remember the last time we presented back-to-back ?

I am not the one abusing the phonetic alphabet here. Last time I checked, the public IPv6 for facebook was 2a03:2880:f003:c07:face:b00c::2
Clever. I would have done the same. Old IPX days : FEED.BABE.BEEF
In french : CAFE (literally : C0FEE, but 4 digits)

As of pilot talk, the "niner" part of it is a total no-no out of the US.

You are preaching to the choir in your next email, and you are wrong.
You and I can do hex, the rest of the world can not.
