You have got to be f@#kin' kidding!
That you could use the name of a brilliant mind such as Berners-Lee in the same sentence as the name Al Gore is nothing short of despicable.
Heck! Using Gore's name in the "same forum" is an insult enough to Berners-Lee - let alone all the other brilliant IS pioneers that have been spoken of time and again on ZDNet over the years.
As for Gore, well ... what the hell is there to say? His *greatest* achievement would have to be in the testing and implementation of the World's first non-flammable range of hair products. I guess the guy had no choice since his old collection of hair sprays and grooming products obviously *weren't exactly* in line with his sanctimonious, self-serving so called "Anti-Global Warming" campaigns. As far as I'm concerned, the whole thing is a crock organised by a bunch of left-wing quacks to scare the "Chicken-Little-types" into thinking the sky is falling - ah, phooey!
If Gore really wants to to anything to cut *green-house gas emissions* he'd go along way by keeping his *trap shut* and going back to being the pathetic, weak and two-faced congressman he was always destined to be.
dt_luke, for your future reference: DON'T mention wannabes in the act of acknowledging greats - we as IS folk owe *at least* that much to Berners-Lee and other pioneers in IS development.
Sincerely.
