This is all wrong! If you search "Inventor of email" on Google you are shown the one-true email god is VA Shiva Ayyadurai. Stop denying him the title of inventor of email with all this propaganda.

Seriously though... I thought Google was going for accuracy in their search results. It's amazing that this idiots website is listed at the top when searching for this information.

I'd argue that Google achieved maximum accuracy with that result. Most people searching for the "Inventor of email" seem to be looking for that person, because the story of his controversy seems to be way more popular than the actual history of email.

That guy is good for a laugh if you know a network engineer who for some reason has never heard of him... Send a URL and in about 60 seconds get a reply of "holy shit this guy is delusional".
