Agreed.  While it might be a neat-o thing to know if the people who make bitcointalk happen are bitcoin ballers, it's not a question I'd ever ask--and for the same reason I wouldn't ask any member here how much they've got.  It's none of my damn business unless for some reason it is my business, and since I have no stake in the forum's funds or the earnings/holdings of the moderators I'm not looking to see any data on that.

I mean, come on.  This is bitcoin we're talking about.  You know, cryptocurrency.  I'm fairly certain that along with cryptography being used in the code to make the network secure and functional, the spirit behind it is that there ought to be as much anonymity among its users as humanly possible.  Bitcoin is pseudo-anonymous of course, but blabbing about people's holdings in a thread?  Eh, I wouldn't go there.
