I'm kinda disturbed by the notion that Xerox took anything from Arpanet. by the time I was involved, people like Lixia and Steve were really core members of design group - and I always considered their participation and willingness to host meetings a huge boon to the community.

This was more a snarky remark aimed at those "how X stole from Y" narratives, not a serious criticism.
