[SIGCIS-Members] A fresh tissue of lies...

[Dave Walden]

Hi,
If I go to bbn.com, I find in small letters in the right column a link 
to "The first network email".  When I follow that link, I get to
http://www.raytheon.com/news/rtnwcm/groups/public/documents/content/rtn12_tomlinson_email.pdf
I don't think it is claimed there that BBN invented email.  I don't know 
what may be claimed on some other Raytheon site.  In the decades I was 
at BBN, lots of us tried to stop BBN people who didn't know any better 
from saying that BBN or Ray Tomlinson invented email.  Back in those 
days we were worried about being fair to the people who prior to Ray's 
demonstration of networked email already had what today we call email 
running within single computers, e.g., within time-sharing systems.  -Dave
