Thanks!

Probably a mistake by someone. :: is used as a seperator in IPv6, but
that's not a valid IPv6 address, either.

How helpful. Why did you even bother replying?

Perhaps because if Barry hasn't seen it, it probably doesn't exist.
As you confirmed in your post:

At least he was polite ... and he was the first one to reply (by a
longshot). Hearing one other person's comment was probably helpful to
the OP.

Why did you feel you had to comment on his reply?
