Which is my point.    When some one starts pontificating about how SYS/BSD/Linux this that or the other thing - often the idea came elsewhere.   Wide distribution and use was supplied by the XXX Channel but there were many many fathers and mothers

To that end, someone once suggested to me that the inspiration for the swapping implementation in early Unix came fro MTS, but I found that dubious; the dates just don't line up.
