https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_email (and it wasn't that one guy.)

There's a reason I didn't rely on the WikiPedia! It can be edited.

If you're not going to believe any references, why ask for them? "That one guy" is a fake and a fraud, but if you want to find something on the web that supports him, I'm sure you can succeed.

for those who didn't know who "that one guy" is, I guess the discussion is about the person named in this article, who likes to sue people about it. https://gizmodo.com/the-guy-who-claims-he-invented-email-jus...

We could provide a read-only wikipedia but it wouldn't have much content ;)
