Question Posted Saturday April 17 2010, 1:51 pm



why do you always post that before your questions that you are a older man giving advice? it's really annoying! not only does it sound conceited but seriously. CAN YOU STOP although you may be older and your advice may be somewhat different from others there is no need to keep posting that crap on someone's questions.

Your older than most of us we get it you don't need to keep posting that okay seriously cut it out

I have been asked this question before. The reason I do this is that this is a peer to peer website. The people asking the question are expecting someone close to their age to answer them. As I am old enough to be most of the writer’s grandparent I think it only proper that they know I am not one of their peers.

This disclaimer allows me to answer many different questions using knowledge learned over my many years. The disclaimer also allows the writer to decide whether or not they want to accept my advice for how it is given or if I am just another adult who doesn't know what they are talking about.

In many of my answers I ask the writer to talk with their parents, their mother, or trusted adult in resolving their question or problem. I believe my disclaimer at the beginning of my answer again lets them know that I am an adult and if I do suggest they seek parental guidance I have prepared them for this suggestion by including this disclaimer.

I hope this answers your question. As I have stated this question has been asked before and generally after I have explained myself the righter understands and agrees.
