This is very normal, and not meant to be deceiving. If the group who didn’t respond to the request does respond after the article was published, that will be removed and a statement that reads something like “Polymaker (insert title or department) responded after initial publishing with this statement” and that statement will follow after.

The alternative of not stating that comment was requested is we read the article and wonder if Polymaker ever got a chance to speak their side.

Depending on how your ISP is doing IPv6, the typical way would just route the entire prefix to your router, and the ISP would not know how many addresses are used, in the sense that there is no table. If your ISP is keeping data of flows from your prefix then it could start counting unique, but there isn’t really a reason to and it wouldn’t be accurate. Some devices pull and use more than one address, and quiet devices might not get picked up by flows which are typically sampled at a ratio.

New York State’s civil service pension/retirement system is still like this. Including holidays.
