Should posters have to identify themselves by their stage of life when giving advice?

Once you start on this road, it gets dicey because it can become possible to identify people-at least those who may work for universities in some capacity. I, like many on this site, wear multiple hats-employee, advisor, parent and former student–back when dinosaurs roamed. If I had to list schools I’d attended it would be quite a long list and totally irrelevant because things change. I hear Fred Flintstone even graduated since I was in school-who’d have guessed! That would be true about schools I’ve been associated with or worked at also-many many and If I listed them my current and former colleagues, if they cared to (and I don’t think anyone would) could take an educated guess based on the history. But I am not representing any school when I post. I think most of the adults who post a lot show their cards enough so that readers can guess their level of expertise of knowledge base. I also agree with those that already mentioned the fact that knowledgeable people usually provide their opinions about mis-information. And i’ve been called on the carpet for what I believe to be accurate information about a school–so I can see that most information gets thoroughly vetted.
