How are you to believe model X of this company's camera is now discontinued if don't even know *when* the information that appear on the page was created or last updated ?? Makes me mad ... P.S. Martin : why didn't you upload your former WordPress posts to your new Plone 3 site ? A late comment :

Specifying the details of that pyramid is what makes the whole thing funny (e.g. "the premier supplier of stainless washers of type B in town"). People need to be first, whatever first of what. I even heard a university principal a couple of years ago claim his new stadium was the best in North America. Given the university is a small one, I always wondered what the conditions were (details of the pyramid) to make his assertion true, like the best in "middle-sized poorly-funded eastern North American danish speaking universities" or what aspect of the stadium made it the best, like a revolutionary temperature stabilization control for showers :-). The craze for competitiveness and need to push things down "consumers" throats (i.e. convince them) will lead to those atrocities, sadly.

It conveys far more information on one screen than any I have ever seen before. And I'm sure trying to fit them all together nicely without overlaps or white space keeps the webmaster amused.
