What's your point? There are a few not-so-bright posters here who don't know the difference between the net and the web, but Berners-Lee did a great job inventing the web. Anyone who used the net before that surely appreciates what he did.
Not so bright posters? Just as there are some pompous asses here, who name call to give themselves a feeling of superiority.
Aw, I'm probably just cranky cause I feel that the "web", with the exception of URL's (and that wasn't a great leap) had been around and I'm kinda funny about original stuff vs. making stuff better. I'm not capable of really original work, I can stand on someone elses shoulders and sometimes make it better but I recognize it for what it is.
Take Leonard Kleinrock. AFAIK he pulled the concept of packets out of the ether. Very few people know his name. Without him there wouldn't have been a platform for the web. Now there was a leap.
So pardon my whatever and in fact B-L and I have one award in common but when I accepted it I made sure that I mentioned the name of everyone that had done the original work and the fact that I took their efforts and simply hacked them. No false modesty, just the truth.
Or maybe I'm just bitter I didn't get a knighthood (hehe).
