Ah, give the man a break.  He never said he invented it, and I
believe he had more to do than you probably think with getting
ARPANET going, without which the Internet wouldn't exist.  Haven't
checked my particulars here, but I know he got a bum rap on that one

Anyway he wouldn't have had a chance, since the Rooshians I mean CCCP
invented everything just before the US did.  Some of it for real.
