I don't usually read the OT posts but I glanced at this while deleting
stuff. Apologies if anyone already supplied the correct quote.
What Al Gore said was 'While in the Senate I played a major role in creating
the internet'. Apparently he was a major sponsor a author of the bills that
transformed arpanet into the more commercially oriented internet.
I used to have links that traced the evolution of that entirely truthful
quote to 'I invented the internet' but dropped most of them after the
election. I could probably track them down again in the unlikely event
anyone was interested :). I think it was Wired magazine that first used the
word 'invented'.

Yes, the statement is different, but just based on the words in the
sentence. "Playing a role in inventing"!= "inventing". Odd thing
about words: they mean something.
Hell, I play a role in the community on this listserv.
I am certain Jared and Esteemed Company would make the
semantic mistake of thinking I AM the community on this listserv.
Unless, of course, I were in Florida, where votes don't count. <G>
JUST KIDDING! God Bless the Appointed President, and the
minority that voted for him!

And this statement is ANY better??? I use "Software that Powers the
Internet" therefore I guess I, in a way, run the darn thing. :) God

I thought he invented the internet. Just ask him. The best line was "I
knew Jack Kennedy and You are no Jack Kennedy" said by Loyd Benson to
Dan
Quayle.

:), actually if you parrot Gore, it would be
"I played a role in inventing certifications".
The devil is in forgetting the details!
