As a (former, thanks to cancer) network engineer, I'd rather thought it
was the lack of a background in netork engineering. :-) But then, in
one senior-level data communications class, we did implement our own
HDLC protocol in C and had to prove its functionality in the lab, so....
That was also where I learned about the (sometimes almost violent)
conflict between those who favor the TCP/IP stack and those who
favor the OSI 7-Layer model. :-) I remember one Interop conference
where one speaker started off with a slide that had "OSI" in big letters,
with a circle around it and a slash drawn through it. :-)

PS: Brew day was CANXd thanks to a dead burner. No 200,000 BTU fire,
no brew day. Damn...now I have to keep the yeasties alive and
healthy until I get a new burner. (Fridge, then do a starter batch
before brewing---in the fridge for up to a maximum of a week).
