Oh, such stunning sarcasm! I suppose that makes all the vapid absurdities you have put forth here all right?

The self-contradictory idiocies you have put forward in the last few pages make it clear that you have no idea what the internet is, let alone who should be credited with taking the lead in it's creation. Such as the following gems:

TCP/IP is a protocol. It is not a network-it is something a network uses. Here's Lesson One for you Rex: The internet is a network!
RexRed wrote:The internet is always expanding. Do you think the people writing internet protocols every envisioned the internet "growing"? Of course the did!
Of course Al Gore expected the Information Superhighway, (now called the internet) to expand when he commissioned the plans for it in 1986 and sponsored the bill putting those plans into place in 1988. He knew it would mushroom-that is why he made sure the system ran on fiber optic cable, allowing much greater speeds than any other network was using. Among other things.

And Donald Trump cannot even build so much as three foot brick wall-but everyo9ne credits him with building skyscrapers. And movie producers cannot hold a camera properly-but everyone credits them with making the feature film. In the real world, Rex, (as opposed to the one you appear to inhabit), the man who provides the money for people to do what they do best is the man who gets the credit. Al Gore got the Congress to fund the creation of the internet, but he doesn't even ask for credit for creating it. He only asked for credit for taking the lead in creating it, which he certainly did.

And the bricks for Donald Trump's skyscrapers were already manufactured before he ever made his first phone calls to get a skyscraper built. The trick is to arrange to get the bricks put together in place in an agreed upon spot in Manhattan.
