2. It would be hard to explain to people that there are many parts to the Interweb.
   
   Hey, could you even explain gopher to most people? And how it was different than the web?
   
   *sigh* I miss gopher.

4. interesting, you follow-up a comment about misinformation
   with more misinformation of your own.
   as you well know, many people think the internet
   exists only since WWW. but it never hurts to point out
   USENET, ftp etc etc. you hardly did.
   the gist of what Al said related to the "modern internet",
   redirecting the cost & duties of maintaining the backbone to
   companies instead of largely the US government & colleges.
   I don't have to tell you how often he is
   quoted out of context on this.
   but, its too late to help him now.
   funny how little precision there is on such matters, eh?
