Larry Roberts as the "founder of the Internet"

http://j.mp/Q1R9Xt  (Wired)

   "This past April, in recognition of his work, Larry Roberts was
    inducted into the Internet Society's (ISOC) Internet Hall of Fame,
    alongside such seminal thinkers as Sir Tim Berners-Lee, the father of
    the web; Ray Tomlinson, the father of email; and Vint Cerf and Bob
    Kahn, the fathers of TCP/IP, the fundamental protocols that underpin
    the internet.  The irony is that Larry Roberts didn't want to build
    the ARPAnet. As internet historian Jim Pelkey puts it, Roberts was
    "blackmailed" into taking the job."
