Rex,

A fair amount of your "Internet history" doesn't gibe with what
I know.  Before I go and debate you on stage, as it were, would
you mind sharing with me a credential or two to help me assess
where your info comes from?

Me, I worked at BBN from 1983-1989, got to chat with a fair number
of the folks there and read LOTS of related docs (I was doing tech
doc on the DDN, then PR in general, which included writing about
the ARPANET/DDN/MILNET/Internet relationships), have been writing
about the Internet/NSFnet and commercialization activities
since then, etc.  Some of what you say doesn't square with what
I know.  I'm still happy to disagree with you in online-news,
and find out which are the facts, but I thought I'd do a reality
check first.

DPD
