lol....I know exactly what you're saying. I was on one of those forums last Christmas looking for information on a Coach bag. It took all of about 10 seconds of reading before I left to find my information elsewhere. Regardless of the wealth or lack of, those with the most class don't have to "brag" about their possessions.
All the $$ I could have for designer items is spent spoiling my kids
.....I get much more satisfaction from those purchases than I ever did buying an expensive bag.
