Irritating component of posts
 

It seems every time someone is talking about a play when they have less than the average stack in a tournament they feel the need to qualify their shortstack status with something along the lines of "I'm at 2200 after I lost half my stack when a donkey called my 4xBB raise with..." that goes on for a couple of sentences and had nothing to do with the question.
Am I the only one annoyed by this?

it's sometimes relevant to set up table dynamics, but lots of times, it's just to 'save face'.

I know sometimes it's needed, like "I just lost to a 2 outer so the villian probably thought I was tilting" but I find it funny that it seems that people think everyone else will think they're a bad player if they don't qualify why they have so few chips.
