Terrence: I've already thanked him for creating the Internet! :-O jttmab: And well you should. All of the technical people involved have thanked him. Question for Terrence: Why propagate such a rightwing slur?

That was a joke. The military invented ARPANET. A climate of pure research surrounded the entire history of the ARPANET. The Advanced Research Projects Agency was formed with an emphasis towards research, and thus was not oriented only to a military product. The formation of this agency was part of the U.S. reaction to the then Soviet Union's launch of Sputnik in 1957. (ARPA draft, III-6). ARPA was assigned to research how to utilize their investment in computers via Command and Control Research (CCR). Dr. J.C.R. Licklider was chosen to head this effort. Licklider came to ARPA from Bolt, Beranek and Newman, (BBN) in Cambridge, MA in October 1962. (ARPA draft, III-6). Therefore, Dr. Licklider is the true father of the Internet.
