I guess the confusion comes from the fact that left-leaning
persons can't comprehend "initiative".
But the real question is what, if anything, did Gore actually do
to
create the modern Internet? According to Vincent Cerf, a senior
vice president with MCI Worldcom who's been called the Father of
the Internet, "The Internet would not be where it is in the
United
States without the strong support given to it and related
research
areas by the Vice President in his current role and in his
earlier
role as Senator."


The inventor of the Mosaic Browser, Marc Andreesen, credits Gore
with making his work possible. He received a federal grant
through
Gore's High Performance Computing Act. The University of
Pennsylvania's Dave Ferber says that without Gore the Internet
"would not be where it is today."


Joseph E. Traub, a computer science professor at Columbia
University, claims that Gore "was perhaps the first political
leader to grasp the importance of networking the country. Could
we
perhaps see an end to cheap shots from politicians and pundits
about inventing the Internet?"

THAT'S initiative.

Sean will not respond to the specifics you've provided above. He
can't.
Anybody can cut-and-paste quotes from a single website.
And that's all it took to prove you dead wrong.
Now, where IS that quote that you and Rush and Hannity hold so
dear??
Show where I cited that quote. I'm the one - the ONLY one - here who
posted the ACTUAL quote.
You agreed with Shortwave on the issue, and HE said that Gore "invented
the internet".
Who's quoted opinions above do you disagree with?
Third graders know the correct word is "whose".
Third graders also like to try to dissuade someone by little cheap
shots. Especially when they don't have anything else to back up their
views. I'm a busy man, ........

Then why do you spend your work day posting here? Is that what you are
busy
doing?
It took me five seconds to reply to this post, you tell me.
Congratulations! Besides being able to log onto the NG and fins the
response, you were able to type 26 words within those 5 seconds for an
amazing 312 WPM. If I were you I would give the Guiness World Book of
Records a call.
;-)


So, I guess
now you'll go off on another of your trolling rants?

Not a problem. All I did was make an observation in regards to your
statement about being a 'busy man' yet posting here some 2 dozen times/day.

Have a superfantastic evening Bassy. ;-)

Oh for God's sake, shut to **** up, you little baby. Everybody here is
sick and tired of your childish bull****. Grow up. Are you really so
damned childish that you think my 5 seconds was truthful and accurate?
Do you think I actually timed it? Go away, the newsgroup was great
until you showed back up.

Bassy,
In case you haven't figured it out, that is exactly what JimH wanted
when he made his post. He wanted to **** you off. If you really want
to make a difference you need to ignore the bait when it presented in
such an obvious manner. Sure, sometimes a real good fisherman might get
you to take the bait without even knowing it, but this was just a
haphazard non fisherman approach to trolling.
