Re: ARPANET Records (fwd)


I really don't have time to go over all the specific details
that have been brought up to prove I wasn't on the Internet,
or what later became the Internet on July 4, 1971, and I am,
in fact, one of those who challenged that date early on as I
went though notes I had from time, including my transcripts.
I once wondered if it could have been July 4, 1972, but then
I remembered where I was coming to the Sigma V from in those
days and I only lived there the first semester and in summer
school. . .I was out of synch semester-wise, starting in off
semester and doing most of my sequences backwards which took
the approval of my instructors and deans, who seemd willing,
even more than willing, to help. . .something they were NOT,
repeat NOT, doing when I was a freshman the first and second
times around, and for which I received no credit.

I left simply because I wasn't learning anything and threats
of being drafted did not seem an ethical reason.

If anyone would like a copy of my transcripts or anything of
that nature to prove when I was where, I will gladly get the
authorization for them from the U of Illinois, or even get a
copy directly and mail it, as I live near that office.

I am addressing many of these points in my blog, listed down
below in my sig block, so please let me know of the points I
should delve into more deeply to keep everyone happy.

Please be encouraged to keep after these points until I have
provicded enough details, or announced that I don't think it
will be likely for any more details to be forthcoming.


Thanks!!!
