more info for beset question-answerers
I was thinking a bit about the issues I run across when answering questions... and I think knowing the age and sometimes even gender of a questioner would be really helpful. Even in clusters, say >13,13-15,16-18,19+, if that preserves anonymity. Just particularly on love life/sex questions and in ones where they're contemplating money, it'd be really helpful to know.
Another thing which might be nice is to allow more than three favourite categories, or to allow a favourite category to be a mother category, such as Domesticity, rather than having to use two picks to select, say, cooking and pets.

Want to answer more questions in the Technology category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Internet & Web Design?
I might just add more text to the "question asking" page telling people to include more info on themselves... I don't see a reason to categorize everyone because some questions really don't need it, but I agree that some do.
As for the favorite categories... I limited it to three because people look up columnists by category a lot to decide who to ask questions to, and it wouldn't be fair if someone was just in every category. It forces you to focus this way. I see your point but that's sort of where I'm coming from.
