I thought that the older twin, Bronto Soros discovered climate change.

That settles it, then.  Al Gore is a myth.

Although Al Gore, himself, has _never_ actually claimed to
have invented the Internet - that's a calumny invented by
political opponents.

Al Gore did, however, facilitate the funding of the organization
that was responsible for the underpinnings of the modern
Internet when he was Senator.

"Al Gore" or "Algor" is one half of the syllables of "Algorithm." Ergo
Al Gore invented Algebra. He is our Algor-bro. More than that--Al Gore
is math incarnate. He is a blessed son of the Ubernummer. Algor is the
living half word of the Algorithm.

We might consider a shrine to Algor, like the hacker dead cow cult that
has a shrine to Mr. T.

Hail Algor! Algor heil!

I arrived between the Great Renaming and the "kremvax" successor

does anyone recall that year?

The oldest message of mine I can find in the Google Groups archive is from October 1985,
considerably before the Great Renaming.

I'm not sure what's more impressive. You posting since '85 or the fact
you have kept track of your id's and able to find older messages.

I first posted in '94, first year of Uni, but long since forgotten that
id. Then I stopped using Usenet for a LONG time and just recently
started again with this one.

Kudos to you :)

On this newsgroup, I'm not quite sure. On Usenet, about 1981/82. That was 
as rde@ukc.ac.uk

I first posted via a Usenet gateway on a BBS. Then I posted via a
Freenet. Then I got an ISP. I even met Lesher a couple of times. I feel
old.

I was on when I was a grad student at U Washington, 1979-1984.  Email
addresses were bang-paths.

	Sendmail configuration is rightly regarded as fearsomely complex,
but I don't think anything else ever bridged the gap between UUCP and SMTP
with all the required path mangling and header adjustments.

usenet for me was read only for a while until they finally
let us post.

I did it with smail, the predecessor to exim.  It didn't have the fully general
rewriting of sendmail, but it had enough special cases for the transports people actually used.

Once we had uucp pathalias, we tended to use .uucp as a pseudo-TLD and
did the bang paths down in the uucp transport routines.

I remember having to use the % hack to get email from Bitnet to an IP
address.  How long has it been since you've had to do anthing like
that?

K&R put C into less than 300 pages. The Bat Book on Sendmail is big
enough to anchor a small boat and, alas, I've been forced a couple of
times to grovel through it.

	Not this century that's for sure.

	They put C into way less than that - all the facts were in the
short reference section at the back (about ten pages IIRC) the rest was
just verbose explanation and examples. I learned C from a photocopy of
the reference section of the first edition in the two weeks I had to wait
for the compiler to arrive - workplace training circa 1982 - when it did
arrive I had to rewrite a lot of the code I'd written because it lacked
bitfield support.

40 pages (179 to 219) in the first edition.
