    If I only had a cent for every time I've seen these responses I would definitely share my fortune with you.

After all, if others were interested on his background they could just google him up. In the end I will say this: It doesn't matter where you're from or what you've done but what you've contributed to the solution. Keep It Simple Stupid or go write more books, it's simple as that!
    Good research my friend!
