You know, I know, everyone knows, and even Al Gore knows he didn't
invent the Internet. He did say something to a reporter once that,
in typical politician style, implied that because they funded something,
they created it. Not quite the same as programming and soldering.
Furhtermore, you're also wrong about the
funding, he did push funding for the internet in schools but the internet
was Invented and in common use long before he became involved.
Gore was and IS an idiot!
Like him or his politics or not, you know, I know, everyone knows,
and even Al Gore knows, he's not an idiot any more than any college-educated
politician or the reporters who quote them or the pundits who spin them
or the "politics as entertainment" crowd who listen to them all long
enough to sell a few more commercials.
Hopefully all of us can be wise enough to learn the subtle meanings
of words, and know if I say "It took a bale of money to create the
Bitnet", you'll know that it wasn't ACTUALLY created with binder twine.
NOW STOP IT. At what point do the LART rules allow them to be used
on list members?
