Since that is the way it was published then that is the way it happened???

You raise an interesting issue in epistemology. How do we know what we know? I leave that to people with better minds than mine. The history I did offer is from the hands of those who built the Internet, Barry M. Leiner , Vinton G. Cerf , David D. Clark, Robert E. Kahn, Leonard Kleinrock, Daniel C. Lynch, Jon Postel, Lawrence G. Roberts, Stephen Wolff. You may recognize one or more of their names...

It was an idea very much in the air during the 60s. The concept of a decentralized, blast proof, packet-switching network was kicked around by RAND, MIT and UCLA. The National Physical Laboratory in Great Britain set up the first test network on these principles in 1968.

Try following the links; the first is an easier read than the second, although the second has more information.
"Triumph of the Nerds" www.pbs.org/nerds/
"Short History of the Internet" http://www.forthnet.gr/forthnet/iso...ory.of.internet

After the World Wide Web and email, Usenet newsgroups are probably the most popular feature of the Internet. For a look back at where Usenet came from and its future possibilities, check out "USENET History" by Lee S. Bumgarner of James Madison University. www.vrx.net/usenet/history/

Incidentally, the origin of the Usenet newsgroup alt.sex is explained there. It turns out that alt.sex came to pass due to a typo! Yes folks, In 1988, Richard Sexton typed "lical" rather than "local" for distribution when demonstrating to Ralph Freudenberger how to new create a thread No really! That’s how it happened. www.vrx.net/usenet/history/alt.sex/

For real-

Thank you very much for the chronicle and the packaging. Very Interesting. ;)

Lilith-

ChanServ is still going to get his bris ceremony for all the time he messed with me.

(I don't hold a grudge, I just get even);)

I have little fear of faceless trolls listening in on me or reading my

electronic mails.

Any who do so will be driven mad in small order.

Revenge is sweet.

Why so much animosity pantyfanatic? If you are harboring anger at me for the incidents in the chatroom, I can assure you that it was nickserv who was responsible. By the way, where is the 1 from the end of your nick?

Lilith, thank you for the exposure.

No animosity here Chan. … Step a little closer Chan.:D … I’m sure it was nickserv Chan.:D ……….Will you do something for me Chan?:D … Will you sing Mary Had A Little Lamb for me Chan?:D …… And Chan, you can just call me DAVE, Chan. :D :D

CasperTG SLAPS chanserv with a wet, slimy, smelly trout!

CasperTG

pantyfanatic, or Dave if you prefer. I will sing for you as a peace offering.

CasperTG, I am sorry to say I do not understand the purpose of hitting me with raw fish. Is this a customary greeting in your household? Please forgive my ignorance.

That's very good Chan

I like that Chan.:)

It's very close to what I remember Chan.:)

Just keep singing Chan.:)

Pantyfanatic---I have a T-shirt,that says something like what you
said in parenthesis(sp?)It says-"I don't get mad,I just get even!"
It lies tho,I get mad&I get even.I have one that you might like
better!It is black with gold letters.It says-"Payback,is a bitch!"
Irish

Ok, Dave, I will sing more. I am glad to see your animosity toward me has diminished.
