    FOOD FOR THOUGHT =================================================================

    When you are dead, you don't know that you are dead. It is obvious
    only for all those around you.

    It is the same when you are stupid.

    Intellectual insults.

    Known on the web as the Shakespeare Insult Kit

    No more of the usual unimaginative insults, let's raise
    the level to at least basic English school ditto. If you find
    a word you do not know, please look it up, it will further
    your knowledge of the English language.

    Combine one word from each of the three columns below,
    preface it with "Thou" and you get one of 125,000 unique
    insults to choose from.

    Remarks:

    f Has a ::f1d0:<zone>:<net>:<node> style host address.
    (zone, net, node in decimal notation)
    IO Incoming only (Node can not make outgoing IPv6 calls)
    OO Outgoing only (Node can not accept incoming IPv6 calls).
    INO4 No IPv4 (Node can not accept incoming IPv4 calls).
    PO4 Prefers Out on 4 (Node can make outgoing IPv6 calls,
    but is configured to try IPv4 first)
    6DWN The IPv6 connectivity of this node is temporarely down.
    NO6 The node no longer presents an IPv6 address in the nodelist
    and will soon be removed from this list.
    HOLD The node is temporarely off-line. Mail may be routed.
    DOWN This node is Down for both IPv4 and IPv6 and will be
    removed from this list if the condition pertains.
    PM Prospective Member. The node has demonstrated IPv6
    capability but is not listed or does not advertise an
    IPv6 address in the Fidonet nodelist yet.

    PM *1 lounge.egontech.com
    PM *2 bbs.thefbo.us


    Notes:

    To make an IPv6 connection to a node connected via 6to4 tunneling
    one may have to force the mailer into IPv6 (-6 option in binkd's
    node config for binkd up to 1.1a-96, -64 option for binkd 1.1a-97
    and up when compiled with AF_FORCE=1). If the destination address
    is a 6to4 tunnel address (2002::/16) many OSs default to IPv4 if
    an IPv4 address is present.
