Well I assumed you had some reason to make the claim in the first place, you weren't just talking out of your arse. If you just made it up, and it's not grounded in reality, then fair enough. It kind of renders this whole discussion moot, though.

OK, I'll make it very short and easy for you to digest.

"Besides, the Internet was designed to persist during war. "

If this statement of yours is correct, then you should be able to provide evidence supporting it, and you should be able to provide evidence disproving Charles Herzfeld's claim that "the ARPAnet came out of our frustration that there were only a limited number of large, powerful research computers in the country, and that many research investigators who should have access to them were geographically separated from them."

Do you have any evidence to support your claim?

Do you have any evidence that disproves Charles Herzfeld's claim?

(Just two yes/no questions. That shouldn't tire you out too much).

I take it your answer, then, is "no"?

Do you have any evidence that 2+2 = 4 ?

Do you have any evidence that the Internet was not designed to withstand war ?

Yes, indeed I do. I have statements from people involved in ARPANET at the time that list ARPANET's design goals, and, to date, no one has shown those statements to be false. On the other hand "Besides, the Internet was designed to persist during war" - a claim you made - isn't supported by any evidence provided to date, and the poster who made the claim seems unable or unwilling to evidence their claim.
