[Poll] more info about author of Post?

At the left of this discussion post, you see a column "Author", which presents my nickname, picture, location, date i registered, and number of posts.
All this information is helpful when replying to the post. But is it enough?
Like everybody (i think), when i read a post,i react to the author's thinking or philosophy (some times in a positive way, and other times in a negative way). After, i ask myself if the author's reaction could be justified. Maybe they are of the opposite sex or their older or younger than me, ...etc. Before i post a reply, i go and see their profile. That helps me understand better their way of thinking in such a way that my reply to their post would be a lot more different than if i hadn't seen their profile.
But going to see the author's profile, costs me a click and a few seconds. I know it's not much but it becomes alot when you have to do that for every single author = ( a thousand clicks and hours).
Wouldn't it be easier if there was more information about the post author and comment author? Information such as:
*Age
*Gender
*Nationality
you can place your vote.
And any other suggestion is welcome.
What info do you want added about post authors?

you see Seyram, if age is also added and the one who posted something, is sometimes not taken serious if the person's young!

I don't know if I agree - that if someone is young their post won't be taken seriously - the TIG community has many young people who have a lot of intelligence to express!
That said, let's see what the poll says

I would go for none, maturity can not always define from the age, it involves lot of aspects, right

Age cannot "always" determine a person's maturity...
I concur.
But this also means that age can sometimes be a good indicator of people's maturity.
On the other hand, there are other options.
