Trying not to post "too frequently" here, but since you asked.....
If PPruNe wants to start enforcing this disclosure criteria on everyone, I'll be happy to respect it. However, as you note the end result will be less, and not more, information. I know it will on my part because I'm pretty sure my employer (not-Boeing, btw) would take issue with some of the things I've said. Otherwise requiring such disclosures only for select individuals whose commentary is at odds with certain "sacred cow" beliefs is pretty much tantamount to an attempt to silence them.
I will let the facts and reasoned arguments I present speak for themselves. If someone has an issue with that, they are more than willing to counter with facts and reasoned arguments of their own.
