OK already..... this post has wasted enough time and energy just deleting the email.

I think you make a valid point.
Conversely, unless a company is selling through their website directly I believe it is largely a pointless asset; These days, a professional corporate website seems to be a term synonymous with "loads of flash, stock photography, thousands of words of marketing waffle". That can be as much of a turn off as a dreamweaver-template startup in my opinion. That being the case, people buy from people - if you still get a dodgy feeling from the sales guy, don't buy!

    Everything was a "little plain" back in 1997 :)

    The point I'm trying to make is, those websites were fine back
    then when the Web was just starting. But if you have a website
    that looks like that TODAY, that is a sign (often) that the
    company may be a bit shady. (ie. They didn't take time to invest
    in their homepage)

        Well, it was a little plain...
