Well, what he said was "During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet." What you say he did is what he actually did, but what he said gives a different impression. I don't think he's careless or stupid, so I think he said that in order to create the impression in the minds of the people listening to the interview that he's responsible for the internet. That's just what politicians do, regardless of party affiliation. joe -- Gort, klatu barada nikto -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
