May I offer a correction.  Try this message:

     "My Team and I have reviewed web sites of companies and
     (based on their web dev skillz and marketing lingo) have

based on their web sites.   that makes me sad.  that's right in there  
with counting the number CISSPs at a company.

the sales people I have to work with assure me that the product  
doesn't matter.  they keep telling me, "all that matters is the sizzle  
on the website and the well engineered marketing message".  Every day  
I tell them they are f'd up aholes.

It looks like they are right.
