I'm flagging your comment for abuse. I've been developing on the web for over 15 years.

  This makes the parent's point, as "for over 15 years" means you've started around 2005 -- well into the Google era. You never known the web without Google, which is why you can say "Google built the web" and other such nonsense.

    > You never known the web without Google Of course I have. I used Ask Jeeves before Google even existed, and navigated via those awful web directory services before that. I never claimed that Google "built the web", but that they've contributed to it. You're putting words in my mouth.

      >I never claimed that Google "built the web", but that they've contributed to it. You're putting words in my mouth. Is this your gig, being all touchy and getting into arguments over small stuff? You've already flagged one person for "abuse" because they said "Were you even born 10 years ago?" (such abuse!), and now you're complaining I'm "putting words in your mouth" because you "never claimed that Google "built the web". You did write, and I quote literally: "They've [Google] contributed more to the web than probably any company outside of CERN" which is pretty much the same thing in my book.
