I did not say you were an elitist, rather than the rhetoric you were espousing was. Read the quote on the page you sent. Gores words are right there..."I took the initiative in creating the internet" you may have to twist his meaning a bit but certainly not his words. Oh, now you take the high road and say personal attacks are wrong, but calling someone a moron is just fine :)

I also realize that there is a lot if information on the internet created by people who twist facts around including the tired old myth that Gore claimed that he invented the internet (http://www.snopes2.com/quotes/internet.htm) which is simply not true. I am not an elitist and, since you have resorted to personal attacks, I have nothing more to say on this matter.
