Etiquette and changing of threads

[Reindl Harald]

first: my intention is *not* to start another epic thread

since i am always the unholy prick here after i lose patience
maybe others should also reconsider *not* hijacking threads by

* change the subject in a reply which is *uneccaptable*
  especially if the subjet contained the initial question
  because all following replies inherit the change

* explain the world that it needs something in a evangelic
  style which is my decision as admin and not my question

* and later even change a thread with a *clear* question in a
  complete different direction and starting their own proposals

* in general: *do not* change subjects on mailing-lists
  if you intentionally change the direction start your own thread

if people call me rude, short-temperedly, an asshole and whatelse
the thread below explains perfectly how that comes if a simple
one-line question ends in an epic off-topic discussion

well, the subject had a typo because the dot was missing and in
the kernel line is for sure "ipv6.disable=1" since 1.5 years

the thread started to become evangelic and went a complete wrong direction

if i ask how can i continue to disable ipv6 *entirely* than the answer
below is nothing else than a effrontery
__________________________________________

Once in a while I see people suggesting the disabling of IPv6 to cope with some issue.
My I _kindly_ ask not to do that anymore?

Even though such trick might take away the symptoms for you and me, it is a technical
overkill and only tackles the symptoms. Lately I read a message on another M.L.
from someone who only gets an IPv6 address from his provider, and gets his connection
to legacy sites by means on 4in6 tunneling. On behalf of those people, "disabling v6"
simply means: switch of your entire network. If an application / service cannot cope
with v6, the solution should be with that application, not by mutilating the network stack ;-)
