Frankly, I think you're wasting your time to spend too much on
content rather than presentation.  To me, what you related
sounded like (although it was a brief paraphrase) the classic
issue of perception of "professional company with an 800 support
number" vs. "bunch of hackers with a mailing list", and has
almost nothing to do with substance.

I think what was really needed there was a slick corporate
looking web page, with a professional logo that fades, made by
"branding experts", and a little picture of a smiling young
female wearing a headset in one corner, with a phone number under
her picture.

Maybe that's slightly over-the-top, but probably not by much.
