2. Even is he didn't...

Invent the Internet(We can thank Vin Cerf and his associate, and the cocktail napkin for that), he sure was prescient in spurring the research and development. Who would have thought that it would have been so instrumental in spurring and preserving participatory democracy in the US? Just another reason to oppose the demented A$$KKKroft, every day and in every way. I am sure he considers the Internet to be a tool of Satan.

4. btw

I found a wonderful long post on Usenet by Vin Cerf where he actually gave Al Gore credit for being the driving force behind the creation of the internet from a legislative view point. I love posting that at idiots on Usenet who bring up this canard.

3. Oh yes!

5. Thank you! Somebody got it! I thought I was going to have to go out in the

garden and eat worms again.
