We've all heard Michiel's sky-is-falling IP nonsense for so long now. Its all 
he ever goes on about from his highhorse soapbox. Nothing else being
contributed to the hobby but this. Which would be fine, except that its been
used by him over the years as a means to insult and belittle those who do not
have it. Especially against Zone 1 Sysops. And if its not IPV6, its some other
soapbox nonsense. Zone 1 conspiracies, Janis, the NAB, the FTSC, the anarchy 
of missing kludge lines... Many channels of noise to pick from to tune out.

But the nodelist is just a text file that lists connectivity information. It
has nothing to do with what IP addressing scheme is the current fad of the 
time.

In the 1980's the connectivity fad was dialup modems. Its 2019 and I still
see them listed. Including mine.
