> Ethan Brodsky, couldn’t easily find anything about him today. Just another generous internet stranger who played a role in my tech career.

I got curious - the email address in the reply is "ericbrodsky" - I did find an Eric Brodsky on LinkedIn who was at Wisconsin until '95 - so it's possible Ethan is his son, and he used his dad's email address?

Some more digging, and I found this profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ethanbrodsky/ - could be him? Went to Wisconsin a few years later (so was likely in HS when he wrote the SoundBlaster stuff).
