It COULD be that you were in marketing so he assumed you didn't have technical expertise. In my case, people are correct when they assume that and I am happy to pass them along to IT.
Except he had no way of knowing who I was and what I did and I told him 3x I could help him out because I did know what he was talking about, but I already covered that.

I read it wrong; I thought he asked you your title first off.
