Well, if anybody reading this now plans to create a FAQ on stupid
terms that people use to describe the 'net, here's a good quote:

"Use the word 'cybernetics,' Norbert, because nobody knows what
it means. This will always put you at an advantage in arguments."
-- Claude Shannon (the Father of Information Theory) in
a letter to Norbert Weiner of M.I.T., in the 40's

That letter, and Weiner's resulting book, are what started it all.
