On another forum, a detractor was insulting and sarcastic. He asked:
“Do you have any understanding of how internet infrastructure works?”
I replied,
“Well, I taught various network engineering courses at colleges for 17 years before going private. Now, companies pay me $6,000/day and fly me to their locations to work with their people on solving tough problems for which they need outside help.
How about you?”
To my surprise, he replied, and was apologetic. Trolls usually don’t reverse course like that. He restored my faith in humanity a bit.
