Why do you NEED to know what someone's chess rating is "follow the conversation". Just may be of interest in the 'chess only' forum, but anywhere else it is completely irrelevant.
Do you believe only high rated chess players are worthy of listening to?
What makes moves/location or date joined more important than one's rating that they are included while rating is not? Why then don’t we have size of feet or whether you had cereals or toast in the morning, as forum information?
