Bassy, I really don't want to take you to school on this again.

Just drop it.
Al Gore NEVER said he "invented the internet" period.
March 9, 1999.

Quote: "During my service in the United States Congress, I took the

Now, do you really want to get your brains all in a twist over
subjective intent and symbolic psychology as it pertains to how

No you don't because the last time we did this, about two years ago I
think, you ran away for two weeks and never brought the subject up
again.
It wasn't the subject that made him go away. It was the cigar smoke.
What ever works. :)

The Internet Story was a major political fax paux. Everyone knew what
Al Gore was trying to say, but it sure made for great political mud.

Gore?

Please - Anyone with an historical perspective and a modicum of
knowledge about metrology and physics will tell you that (1) They
don't have a freakin' clue if there is or isn't "global warming" and
(2) the recent "activity" is more about normal solar/current patterns
than "global warming".

Then again, this is Al "I'm so freakin' smart I scare myself to death"
Gore. :)

Believe what you will, but actually try to understand the varying
opinions from all the respected scientists involved in this debate
rather than Al "The Sky is Falling - or at least Warming Up" Gore.

On another subject, did you buy a new bigger, betterer boat?

Once and for all. Al Gore NEVER said he "invented the internet".

Bassy, I really don't want to take you to school on this again.

No brain twist at all. He NEVER, EVER stated that he "invented the
internet". He DID take initiative in the creation as he has stated.
Most scholars on the subject credit him with doing so.

No you don't because the last time we did this, about two years ago I
think, you ran away for two weeks and never brought the subject up
again.

Uh, no. You can get one thing straight right now, Tom. I NEVER "run
away". Your attempt at a petty jab shows that you know I'm correct and
you're not.

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.


Who's quoted opinions above do you disagree with?

Third graders know the correct word is "whose".

Childish little snips meant to throw someone off, because you know
you've got

.... I've got what? The ability to finish a sentence? Why yes, I do,
unlike you apparently.

Speaking of "throwing someone off" - why did you introduce all this crap
about the internet when the thread is about climate? Too bad it didn't
work.

Vincent Cerf, a senior vice president with MCI Worldcom?
Joseph E. Traub, a computer science professor at Columbia
University? The inventor of the Mosaic Browser, Marc Andreesen?

Dr. Lindzen at MIT.

And why?

Because he's a climate expert, unlike the rest of those people, and this
thread is about climate. Try paying attention.

Uh, dummy, our conversation, and the above quotes, and my question to
you about which of those do you not believe, were about a statement
that Tom made about Al Gore. Please try to follow along.

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.

No, they know, but when you have good political mud, you don't want to
let it go. Heck look how long we beat a dead horse in rec.boats, do you
think the political hacks are going to give up on a good horse when
you can still beat it some more?

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.
