RE: A special thanks!
No single person created the Internet. It's a giant collaboration that owes its creation and continual evolution to an incredibly diverse group of people over the past 30+ years.
I'm not sure how any of this is relevant to the Beginner's section at all, but if you're interested knowing the background behind what Gore said, here's a fairly comprehensive look at it: http://www.firstmonday.dk/issues/issue5_10/wiggins/

RE: A special thanks!
I got no clue as to what this has to do with Beginners either, but I remember reading in my Data Communications/Networking class textbook that Tim Berners-Lee at CERN started the Internet, then some dude invented TCP/IP, etc. then you get the World Wide Web and HTTP. Before the WWW there was the Gofer, Ftp, etc
I think we have a confusion. But thats ok!!! i like confusions. Everyone gets mad, sits, calms down, and gets mad all over again because they forgot why they were mad in the first place
