No doubt, @HRSMom. No doubt!
But I still think it would be helpful to know if the poster was a parent, a HS or college student, or whatever (college counselor, recent graduate, etc.). Plenty of high school kids give EXCELLENT advice, and many adults give bad advice (IMHO), but it would still be great to have some context. Something as simple as a colored border around the poster’s profile picture might work. I’m not saying I have an easy solution, but it’s a serious problem. Especially once you get out of the Financial Aid & Scholarships forum, which is pretty well monitored.
