Here's what I want you to do: 1. find the person you trust most, then 2. send them a document containing all of your sensitive personal data, i.e. your social security number, bank statements, bills, receipts, etc. Then call them and tell them how many people you've slept with last month. Do this because you trust this person. Oh wait, I think my comment may have been a little witty and assholish. Oops. Maybe it's because your post entails that we should have to publicly disclose our passwords to members that aren't even part of HN, who may or may not be trustworthy. Maybe people have passwords they use universally. Maybe if you would have thought your Ask HN post through a little more, you would have realized how utterly inane it was. I don't like to be mean, especially here. But what was the purpose of posting this? It would have been just fine as a comment. And furthermore, if you understood that your remark was "assholish" (your words), why did you bother to post it in the first place?

Ok, this was a joke, really :) >Here's what I want you to do: 1. find the person you trust most, then 2. send them a document containing all of your sensitive personal data, i.e. your social security number, bank statements, bills, receipts, etc. Then call them and tell them how many people you've slept with last month. Do this because you trust this person. My mother knows my SSN, has many of my bank statements, bills, receipts, she probably even knows pin to my credit cards. I just told her (in person) that I slept with 0 women and 0 men last month. What next?

  Hit up a good pub, there'll be plenty of women and men there. Your post may have been a joke, but I don't feel like you were justified creating a new thread. Just comment/reply next time.

Haha, this actually sums up nicely what I was wanting to say. I'll add - Communities that have trust also have privacy, my friends don't need to know who I vote for or how much I make but thats no reason not to trust them.
