Confucious said that about the internet? Really? Wow, does Al Gore know that? I mean, what with him inventing the internet and all.

Who are you to question what Bob Kahn and Vint Cerf have supported?

I'd like to see ANY C.V. which gives ANYONE the gravitas to counter Vint and Bob's opinion!

Al Gore *IS* the Politician Most Responsible for The Internet As We Know It.

Deal with it.

Given the importance of the Internet today, and the prescience Gore had shown at the time in providing support for the emerging infrastructure, I, as an IT professional always feel a duty to correct the record in this case.

Granted, I *do* tend to somewhat overreact to that old jibe.

I would apologize to anyone offended.
