    The thread starter disabled that option. Discussing how much one person makes isn't professional. I wouldn't have voted if the results of who voted could be seen by everyone.

    I think it would also be useful from a membership point of view, not only the tech industry.

    It's called professional ethics gentlefolks. Techie or no Techie, discussing how much you make is highly unprofessional. That's why the poll should remain anonymous. Consider the following implications if this poll were Otherwise:

    - It leads individuals to making false assumptions and presuppositions about each other (especially with respect to their lifestyle) even if you don't really want to. In fact, I see at least 1 post in this thread where someone has already made this blatantly obvious. That person knows themself. There is such a thing as too much information. The human mind is a naturally evil thing - even if you think you are not.

    - Having an anonymous cross-section of salary earnings for the tech community proves to be far more useful information to me (maybe I'm considering a career change?) than how much John Brown makes. When I know how much John Brown makes, I forget all about the fact that John Brown is a techie, and I think "wow, he makes 180k a month!" Jealousy is a funny thing. It has no preferential target.

    - Furthermore, it's usually not a good idea to put fine details of your personal life up on a public website which gets at least 500 hits per day - many of that number from anonymous unique visitors. I mean c'mon. Who here wants to setup themself for an armed robbery? Have we forgotten that we live in the 4th most violent country on earth? Hello?! Have some of you fallen on your skulls?

    People have a nasty way of loving to chat other people's business. So keep it anonymous and professional. That's the way to do business around here.

    While I will agree that it's inappropriate to ask individuals their salary, asking persons to indicate their salary via an anonymous poll is quite a common data collection technique. No one demanded anyone to post and identify their salary, and I'm sure that there are several who responded to the poll who haven't posted, and vice versa.
