My point was, of course, that IP actually is an abbreviation for the
Internet Protocol (frequently misused to refer to its addresses), of which
there are two versions: the initial version 4, conceived in 1981 (30 years
ago), and version 6, conceived in 1998 (which may yet save the internet as
we know it since IPv4 addresses run out last month.)

But Jerry appears to be humor-free, which does not bode well for his
intelligence. (As expected.)
