Should there be no development anymore just because these people cannot

Should we all stand still just because of that?
That's not what I said at all.
That is a very narrowminded view. The fact that you
could make it work
does not
mean that it works for everyone. We sometimes see the struggles here when
people try to join, and I can tell you that joining the system I propose
(and that
we have had running here for several years, and is running in some other
regions as well) is much easier to join.
If you reread what I wrote and understood the principle of the message
what I said was that we shouldn't "eliminate" what's already there as
far as connectivity for those who may or may not understand what it is
we do. I did not say HALT, do not go further at all. I did suggest that
we don't create a "tower of babel" effect as they've done with digital
voice repeaters now. I can't understand how this is "narrow minded".
One thing a lot of end user points will always suffer regardless of the
methods of routing will be that of their ISPs edge router whether
they're using VPN, IPIP, etc. If they have no link to their ISP, the
rest is all moot.
We need to keep what we do in the most layman's of terms so those who
are trying to learn can understand what it is we're doing, what we're
looking to do, and what our goals are. Often we all forget that many on
this list know terminologies of certain things that doesn't mean that
those on amprnet who are NOT on this list also do. That also was
apparently another of my narrow minded points that was missed.
