Yes I agree, I'm just stating the reality. I think there are very many agents who don't really care what writers think about them. They know that it is their market. They receive hundreds of queries a month from writers desperate for them to show them even the slightest attention. If an agent scribbled a short snippy note, saying, "Like this. Send me more" the writer is dancing all the way to the priority mail section of the post office. At that point, if someone pointed out to the writer how unprofessional that agent's website is, the writer would just turn a deaf ear because it doesn't matter: the agent has paid attention. And that's all that matters.
I doubt very many writers would decline to respond to an agent's request for a full, based on the unprofessionalism of the agent's website.
