  FWIW, I was *not* referring to those kind of 'archives' and have *said
so* in my response whose news URL I gave.

  No. And I wouldn't have to for my statement to be true.

  Yes. (To be precise, it predates the *public* (i.e. non-private)
"introduction of TCP/IP", a.k.a. 'the Internet'. With regard to the
private/non-public "introduction of TCP/IP", it's probably a tie.
Anyway, "the introduction of TCP/IP" is not relevant. Hint: Those funny
looking characters in the Path: line.)
