Supporting the extension of the internet isn't even close to
"inventing" it.



Wow! After all this, somebody's *still* putting "inventing" in quotes.

We already saw the real quote:
"During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative
in creating the Internet."


Invent and create are pretty close cousins. My comment applies equally
well to create. I didn't think he'd used the word invent which is why I
had it in quotes as I wasn't sure it was strictly correct. So, let me
restate: Supporting the extension of the internet isn't even close to
creating it.

Happy?

The actual verb he used was neither invent nor create.
