Why really does matter.

It was a genuine inquisitive inquiry.

There was nothing wrong with his question...it was relatively polite and
quoted in context properly as to emphasize why this sort of upgrade
would need to be done in a particular location.

Perhaps the poster was questioning the OP because he wanted to learn
about GigE himself, and why it may/would be needed/wanted...
