I would prefer if the student asking a question would identify themselves as a student. When they do, I would probably take a different approach in answering the question. This would give the student a better learning experience. I answer a lot of questions on forums. I would prefer if the student asking a question would identify themselves as a student.

They'd get asked to do something that was way outside of their skill area, and they'd smile and nod and take the task knowing they'd just ask the intertubes.
