Do you ever wonder about the people answering your questions?

If you found out that they were not who they claimed to be, and did not have the education in the subject your question was in that they told you they had (ie a degree in psychology), but they still gave you advice that you think is good, and information that is accurate, would you still take what they said seriously?

He's an example situation. Let's say you are a 35-year old parent, and you asked a question where you stated that you were contemplating suicide. Someone claiming to be a middle aged parent talked you out of killing yourself. Later, you find out that they were actually just a 15-year old kid, would your thoughts on their answer (thoughts like "maybe I shouldn't kill myself) change at all?

What if, perhaps, the "35-year old female psychiatrist" posting on your question, explaining the answer to your question asking "What are the symptoms of bipolar disorder?" is actually a 19-year old male with no formal training in psychology (though he has an extended knowledge of mental illnesses)? Would you still believe his answer?

What if the person claiming to be a 22-year old college student, who answered your question "What should I do with my life?" with good advice about getting a job, moving out of your parent's house, and getting a girlfriend is actually a 14-year old girl, who, though intellegent enough about how the world actually works to give you a legitimate and good answer, has no life experience herself? Would you still take her advice, even if it was good?

What if that "17-year old girl" giving you boyfriend advice (quite good advice, actually) is actually a 40-year old single man, who poses online as a teenage girl? Would you listen to him about what he thinks you should do about the situation you're in?

Tell me what you guys think. Sorry for the length of this and all of the irriating hypothetical questions, but I really want to know what you would do in the above situations and what your reaction would be if you found out that an answerer isn't who they claim they are. I'm also curious about your thoughts on the believability of some people on Facebook. Have you ever come across someone that you think is not the person that they claim they are?

Anyway, enough questions. Tell me your thoughts.

There's something in it for you, too.
Whoever has the best answer, I will, of course, choose them as best answer earning them 10 points, AND ALSO I will answer their choice of any question they've asked, as many questions as they want me to answer, the best I possibly can.
