No, that's not what I was trying to say -- I was saying it was silly
to repeat the meme that Al Gore -claimed- to have invented it.
It was used (successfully) in a political campaign against him, but
that's in the past now and we can get back to facts. Yes, it was
clumsily worded (as is true for a lot of statements by politicians)
but no reasonable person would look at the complete statement and
believe he was claiming to have invented it.
By the way, here's what Vince Cerf ("father of the internet") wrote
about this story:
