Normally I would consider this a possibility. People do pretend to be the student/parent around here to get intel (although I find it irritating). The OP joined in 2009, this is their first post, and if their profile is to be believed they are 49yo. It could be a kid, but I think if they lied about their age 3 years ago there would have been a reason at the time and this wouldn’t have been their first post.</p>
