I think it's really important that the librarians are out there slamming the boards, ensuring that the craft and skill of librarianship is not lost in this age of access to all kinds in (mis)information. Could be good for the "shy" librarian to answer inquiries in this manner and not get embarrassed by the content!!

I like the way you used the image to help demonstrate the point you were making. Librarians need to be selective about engagement with answer boards, but they do present some good promotional possibilities.
