It's pretty uncommon to post one's salary on a public forum like this one, let alone to answer a random outburst question in a thread about a company acquisition.
I think the norm you're suggesting goes against the original novelty of the "AMA." There is no act, and they're not the ones behaving poorly. Every AMA attracts odd questions, but it's even stranger to get mad about it.
Ah the original novelty of the AMA, back in those quaint gatherings at the town circle. Naturally the subjects were allowed to ask the minister literally anything. They all had a good laugh and much was learned. I harken back to those rosary tinted times of old. Good jolly.
