Hello Nick,
On Wednesday July 23 2025 17:10, you wrote to me:

Of course. But I hope and expect that different statistics apply to
the Fidonet community. Joining Fidonet always required above technical
knowledge and although it may be easier than in the early days, the average
Fidonet sysop still is not an average internet consumer.

Been there, done that, got the T-shirt.
He.net has stopped giving away T-shirts many years ago, but I still
have mine. I was very impressed that they managed to get it deliverd
exactly on my birth day. A nice and welcome borthday present. :)
Having said that, of course during all those years that I have
been active in promoting IPv6 in Fidonet the milage has varied. There
have been successes but I also met with brick walls. All in all 100
Fidonet sysops who`s node supports IPv6 isn`t really that bad. Considering
that there is a substantial amount of dead wood in the nodelist. I
regulatly test the systems in the IPv6 list for activity. Contrary to the
nodelist in general the vast majority of systems in the IPv6 list are
active Fidonet systems.
Cheers, Michiel
