Yeah, like you I'm just challenging the claim that they contributed to the Internet. OP claimed some credit for USENET, and I said "OK, then what RFCs did they contribute to?" I never really thought about PLATO being described in an RFC. But "the internet" is: TCP, SMTP, DNS, SNMP, Telnet, FTP, BGP, etc. etc. "Intellectual influence" ? Sure, ok, but usually that would show up as citations in other publications.
