And no, I did not get this from a Google search. It's just something that I happened to remember. Although I can't stand Al Gore and his Chicken Little bullshit, I just thought I would throw this out for anyone who was interested, and since he seems to be desperate to draw attention to himself, perhaps I'm doing him a favor as well.
When he first declared himself to be the "father of the Internet", but didn't know what email was, we all laughed our asses off. I remember one particular tagline (they are called "signatures" now), which said,
"AlGoreithm...a weed growing by the side of the information superhighway."
The truth of the matter is that, back in the ARPA days, Al Gore sponsored a bill allocating some of your tax dollars to a plan that made a small step toward making today's Internet possible.
In all fairness to Mr. Gore, his statement was not an outright fabrication, just an exaggeration.
