I know, that if i had to repeat my life history, in order to ask a question on answerbag, there would be concerned readers, that would understand.

I have no idea, other than perhaps it's a way of justifying what they are about to ask to seek an answer that is exactly what they want to hear, regardless of if it's right or not. I agree that it's not really pertinent to include details that don't have anything to do with the question at hand. If I ever start off a question in the scuba diving category with "I'm a diver....." shoot me and I mean it.

To help explain the situation they are asking about.
Truth is personal, not universal. Any quarrel with that? What and why?

We're all excellent/mediocre/lousy at some things. They're different things. We're all average. How can one 'average' think its better?
