Yes, exactly. If the member in question wants to parade that information around, then so be it. If they would rather it be kept quiet, that's fine. Or if they don't want the info shared on the forums but instead want to discuss the issue with a few select members only, through PM or whatever, then they're ultimately responsible for any details that get out. You can't trust anybody to hold a secret forever.
