Virtually all of us in here have no idea what happened, or even if anything happened. There were a couple of posts at the beginning of all this with very little information, and none of it was corroborated, yet here we are 250+ posts into arguing over whose fault it was. Pass the popcorn.

That's a key piece of information. Makes the fact that it's a rental irrelevant. Normally I'd describe that as a private charter rather than a rental.

Yes, this is called the Internet. It is something developed to shake your faith in humanity.

I'm pretty sure Tim Berners-Lee envisioned something substantially different than what we have today.

And I heard Al Gore claimed responsibility

Which kind of makes sense considering the level it has sunk to.

Actually kinda makes you think that Trump invented it!

Actually, Al Gore was on the Armed Services committee that approved DARPA funding. The quote that results in

But it will emerge from my dialogue with the American people. I’ve traveled to every part of this country during the last six years. During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet. I took the initiative in moving forward a whole range of initiatives that have proven to be important to our country’s economic growth, environmental protection, improvements in our educational system. During a quarter century of public service, including most of it long before I came into my current job, I have worked to try to improve the quality of life in our country and in our world. And what I’ve seen during that experience is an emerging future that’s very exciting about which I’m very optimistic and toward which I want to lead.

I don't like Al Gore (Tipper even less), but that statement is blown way out of proportion. Poor choice of words, but DARPA funding was critical.

This has to be one of the most OT side discussions of a thread in ScubaBoard history.

Dear Christie. Your FN Hilarious. Totally 100% accurate. Why would I make up some story like this for self promotion? I say factual information. I dont need to mention names for curious minds. Anyone wants to know just ask me when you see me. Ill take you right over to the captain who rescued the divers and he will tell you same. Christie misses Dave so much she just trying to stir crap with anyone on here.
