This particular firm does well and he is only allowed to write copy for the
home page. The rest stayed with the original content which deals with what
they do, how they do if and their qualification and experience. 

Does limit the damage he can do. Their internal pages do well in search
engines So the home page isn 't that important. Plus they work in a 
specialized part of their industry so most of their work really does come
from referrals, word of mouth and speaking engagements of industry events.

The partner I like is very good at what he does and the industry knows it.
Don't know the other 2 partners.

Cheryl Wise: thank you for your humorous anecdote.

My position is: if a firm really *does* something valuable, then it better
communicate this *something* as powerfully, clearly, accurately,
triumphantly, and truthfully as possible.

If a firm isn't really doing anything worthwhile, just dazzling dumb clients
who are tricked into thinking good results are being achieved: shame on that
firm.

Being full of optimism, I prefer to hope that the firms are *doing
something* valuable.

They just don't know how to explain what they're doing. Let's hope that's
the case.

But my deceased father, a laser specialist engineer at Caterpillar, always
told me: "If you know what you're doing, you'll also know how to describe it
in simple terms, no matter how complex it is, there's always a way to reduce
it to simple analogies and descriptors." [My paraphrase, his original was
simpler!]

How can a firm survive if it's nothing but dazzling, and describing that
poorly????
