So far we've had 26 submissions! That's pretty good, even if 11 of them
were from me. I would like to have about 100 for the initial database
population.

If you tried to do an IPv6 scan, and it didn't work, don't assume you
did something wrong. It might be a bug (or something known not to be
supported yet) so please send a report.
