Maybe we didn't really want a poll (sboland) Today

I think you nailed it.

I find it amusing (in some ways) that IW is so
hell bent on targetting IT management when (in
many, perhaps the majority of cases) it's the
technically astute folks who IW is blowing off
that actually make the technical evaluations
and the final recommendations.
.
My management doesn't deal at a low enough level
to be able to make informed decisions about a
product without consulting with the technical
staff. Yes, they rubber-stamp the purchases,
but (at least in my experience) most of the
actual decisions are already made before the
manager/director is brought into the loop...
.
Over the past several years, the quality of the
IT press has gone fairly steadily downhill, and
I admit I'm long past the point where I go to
my peers for informed opinions rather than an
IT publication. That wasn't the case before.
