I wouldn't call this "the joy of marketing". I'd call it "the bliss
of stupidity".

This is completely OT, but I feel obliged to pass it on.
At work we sell services which include a web site that we develop
and host
for our clients. I have been helping put together a bid for a
prospective
new client, a very large and rich company that we are keen to get.
One of
their questions is 'does our website run under Netscape'. I stated
that we
hadn't tested it under Netscape, only IE. One of our marketing
people got
back to me:
Marketing person: perhaps we haven't tested, but do we know that
netscape
works or doesn't work?
Me: Without testing we can't know for sure, but I'd say it's
99.999% certain
that it won't work with Netscape.
Marketing person: I have put in "We feel confident that our system
will work
with Netscape"
