I believe that quote was from me, and NOT from Bitchick... so it was quoted out of context.  And, I do NOT find this picture as pompous and irritating... it is cool and good to show these lavish images.

When I talk about pompous and irritating, it is a communication thing.. and words that Risto may chose to use when communicating with someone newer to the bitcoin community or less bitcoin endowed.... communications like that.
