Some interesting questions and answers:<p><pre><code> [Q] Dear Mr. Metcalfe, First, thank you for all your brilliant work over the years. My question is how do you feel about the NSA collecting everything?&quot; [Metcalfe] America needs an NSA, because we have dangerous enemies. Perhaps they&#x27;ve been over-doing it lately. I am worried that the current administration will destroy NSA in the current scandal. </code></pre> It is always interesting to hear a different point of view from a person in tech. Also love his sense of humor:<p><pre><code> [Metcalfe] Ethernet cables should be yellow. And that&#x27;s that.</code></pre>
