That's not itself an act of rudeness, unless you have a definite motive to expose and embarrass visitors who without evidence impute erudition to you based on your possessions. That seems at high risk of backfiring by exposing you as a misanthrope.
@katydidnt Who said anything about rudeness?

@AlienTheExtraterrestrial Oh. All this time I never knew they did that. That sets me worrying what podiums I've been caught occupying. And explain a few DM questions that come in the night.
