[OOTB-hive] CE looking bad?

[Andreas Steffan]

to me it seems the actual "them" is the marketing department. And "we" are
not really taking "their" page seriously, arguing that people like "us"
easily see beyond. I doubt the average visitor matches "our" demographic
profile. It's ok and I can live with that easily -  and without any anger.
Really.

have a nice weekend
