Was it? As part of every job I've done I've had to do some sort of
analysis. Not snooping, but analysis. Snooping is actively looking for
*something* (or even passively inthe hope that it'sthere), analysis is
looking to see what is happening and why. In all cases for me, to debug a
problem and make it goaway.

And how would that comment give that away, exactly?

Remember that "The Internet" as an entity does not actually exist. An
internet (or several) does, but the whole point of the term is that  it
comprises a large number of interconnected networks. Someone has to run
them!

Personally  I feel  a  healthy level of paranoia  is a  good thing (as is
a keyboard with a decentspacebar...), but you can have a little too much.
