Correct! It's also notable that his claims just barely stay out of legally actionable material by his insistence on differentiating email from EMAIL (in all caps), and his insistence that EMAIL is an "electronic version of an interoffice mail system". So he's the creator of software that he named "EMAIL", but not an inventor of anything. His claims are full of similar term redefinitions and self-aggrandizing language.
Despite his aggressive campaign to be recognized for something notable other than his participation in pseudoscience, marketing BS and corrupt government organizations, the rest of the world remains unconvinced. He had a single class he was teaching at MIT at the time all the media articles hit, in which he introcuded a new term that he used to aggressively market himself as an expert in an "emerging field". His various sites link between each other as proof of his excellence. This type of self-referential press is a specialty of his. He even directly edited his own Wikipedia article as part of his media campaign.
You'll note that the first paragraph ends in a sentence with a dozen "references". This is how his edits always look and the page was originally full of sentences with 5+ references, which made tracking down legitimate information quite difficult. It's undergone heavy editing since then, but he still drops in for edit wars.
There's a good chance that snake oil is involved if he's anywhere near a project.
