David,

Call you cell phone company and ask them. I mean who better would know the truth? Or so we would hope.

You're kidding, right? I mean, you have called customer service before, haven't you?

(INSERT BIG LAUGH HERE)

Actually I have, and when I get no help, I escalate the call, and if I still get no help I escalate again, and again and again, until I DO get help.

I usually get help B-)

and the problem with most of those customer service centers is that the escalator, or elevator, doesn't reach the top floor...

David:

I have been using the do not call list for quite a long time now for all my phones and it works quite well. I can't attest to the effectiveness with my cell, which is my primary business phone, but it's rare when I get calls or even the annoying faxes I used to get.

Well, since Cody correctly identified the source of the information as the internet, I thought it only right to go the man who claims to have invented it for the real truth!

You guys should take some of your own advise before you continue spreading lies.

He never said he "invented" the internet.

Check out what he said here:

It amazes me how people hear something thru some grapevine and take it as gospel without confirming.
That "don't let the facts get in the way" of a good character assasination attitude.

Just because the present administration does it continually does not make it acceptable.

IT ALL DEPENDS ON WHAT "IS" IS......

To quote YOUR source, "I took the initiative to create the internet"

Close enough for most people! Invent or create... pick some nits if you want to.

I tried to cancel thread #27, but my IE locked up...don't have the energy to waste on a contest of urinary magnitude.

Cody,

Looks like your deletion worked after all. Basically, even with the tangent it took, the posts were on topic. :-)

It worked, but not at the right time.

Unfortunately, my fingers started typing before the my brain kicked in. I actually clicked "Cancel", but the reply was posted anyway.

I care nothing about stirring a political debate, nor bringing to surface the emotions that many folks can't/won't hold in.

What part of

does not reflect that notion? I particularly like Vint Cerf's defense of Gore's statement by saying that "...he makes it a point to be well-informed."

I like that. Yep. I like it. B-)

In 1988 he sponsored the National High-Performance Computer Act (which established a national computing plan and helped link universities and libraries via a shared network) and cosponsored the Information Infrastructure and Technology Act of 1992 (which opened the Internet to commercial traffic).

If this is not helping to create the internet, I don't know what is.

My big gripe is not what you think of Gore, Bush or anyone else.
It is the spreading of lies without checking fact.

Grrrr....I wasn't going to get into this thread, was I???

LOL

This past December, our local City Council voted to pave an old oil-top road with concrete, which will give some residents a better drive to and from their houses (a few blocks from my house). Construction began a couple of weeks ago.

Here's my question: Did the Councilman that (or any of the Council) actually PAVE the road?

What was it that the Council did? I'm looking for the VERB.

So....using the same logic, did Algore CREATE the Internet? Other than writing / co-sponsoring a piece of legislation, did he take any active part in the CREATION of it?

It's semantics, I know. But this is one of the most famous of Algore's slips....still not as funny as a lot of Bush-isms. B-)
