I didn't claim that, though, did I? I said "I lived in Southeast Asia
in 1982 and there /was/ /no/ /Internet/ ." A reasonable reader could
easily interpret that as I meant it -- that there was no Internet in SE
Asia.
It's like saying "I lived in the Eastern Sahara in 2003 (which I did)
and there was a water shortage (which there was.") I'll bet you would
take that to mean that there was a water shortage /in/ /the/ /Eastern/
/Sahara/ , not that I thought that there was a water shortage
everywhere on earth.
