Is a 2010 HDTV (ATSC DLNA) viewer - "On the Internet" ?

Note for IPv6 archeologists...Mobile Digital TV went with IPv4+Shim

Funding of the so-called Eco-System (aka Idle Rich Society) also
appears to define "The Internet" in some circles. It appears 100+
people live off of Internet Fees for doing largely nothing. They of
course travel to explain why that structure is essential. Is it ?

Are you sure you are on the right platform--sounds more like I would
expect to hear in Amherst or Sproul hall.

Or did you just forget to mention your point?

To answer the question in the Subject: (the last time anything made
sense to me in that message):

No. It was an experiment in the PANS branch of POTS (PSTN to some people).

The degree to which people subscribed to this list, apparently having
nothing better to do, will respond to a blatant troll is breathtaking.

Mama taught me to be polite and forgiving, it takes me a while to give
up on a persistent idiot--I want so badly to find a way to engage them.

But I do learn eventually.

Of course recent evidence shows quite clearly that [some] people
subscribed to this list, apparently having nothing better to do, will
respond to anything...

I am suitably chastened--kind of like being slapped with a stale bar-rag.

MY apologies. but I did feel a need to respond to you.

I'm over it now.

Seems like ipvsomething.com is just another Internet entrepreneur who earns
money from driving traffic to nonsense sites that host Google ads.
He seems to think that the NANOG list is a good way to get such
traffic both directly from curious NANOG members and indirectly from
the URLs that get recorded in various NANOG email archives.

Please don't copy his URLs if you reply to one of his messages.
