NLHE - Requesting a Chip Count

[BigBluffer]

Sometimes when playing NLHE one player might ask another player how much he has behind. What, if any, responsibility does the asked player have to respond? I'm trying to develop Joe Navarro's "Play Silent, Play Deep" style and keep as quiet and steady as possible during the hand. If my chips are in clear view, in neat stacks of 10, 15, 20, etc. do I have to do anything? Or, should I just remain silent since he can easily eyeball my chips?

Thanks.
