I just made a new post where I snipped out the specific issues that I feel
need to be addressed. Please take a look at it.

You are correct that you would not have the same status/recognition. But
that would not prevent you from sharing ideas or opinions.

Again, lack of status or recognition should not limit ones participation in
discussions.

Such is the result of status and/or recognition. I have given thanks where
it was due on several occasions.

Here, I have the impression you may have misread me. My post has nothing to
do with ones *credibility*, that is entirely subjective and open to debate
on a case by case basis. My point is that people should not have to earn
*any* credibility, status, or recognition just to post an opinion or
participate in an ongoing discussion.
