Gazette editorial
What is it about the office of the vice presidency that causes its occupants to say such foolish things? Al Gore seems to be troubled by the same foot-in-mouth disease that bedeviled his predecessor, Dan Quayle. Case in point: An interview on CNN last week, in which Gore was asked to cite accomplishments that separate him from former Sen. Bill Bradley of New Jersey: "During my service in the United States Congress," Gore replied, "I took the initiative in creating the Internet."

To: T171nec25father

hi
my vote at the moment has to go to Tim Berners-Lee because he is the man that brought the internet (or what there was of it) to the general public. with out him it would probably still be a scientific talking shop with a very small audience, (IMHO)

but the question asks for the father of the Internet, not the web, so does he count for the purposes of the TMA?
