      Of course that's the point. Just as you don't care what design firm did the packaging for your iphone, the target audience for this site doesn't care where he got his template. It only cheapens it for you, in that you know it didn't take him as long as it could have.

While I understand that you said the bootstrap header cheapens the whole thing, I think that criticism is very "inside baseball", and in the wider market no one cares. (Personally, I like the bootstrap header and I think anything that speeds up time-to-market should be applauded.)
