Didn't the original concept evolve out of DARPA ? I think that

ARPA preceeds DARPA. There was ARPANET and then there was the Internet.

All correct. Never said Gore had the original concept. He never
claimed to invent the internet. Read up on the actual facts. They're

The actual facts? I was there in the 80's and early 90's working on TCP/IP bridges and
