Don't rubberstamp Borat blurbs.

Hi all

I've raised this before, but I still see it happening.
I think we do ourselves a disservice if we publish borderline
incomprehensible listings on plone.org
By this I mean no offense to writers submitting in a second or third
language, but no one wants to invite comparison to @devops_borat
unintentionally.

I've rewritten this one:
  http://plone.org/support/sites/polimex-mostostal-corporate-portal
and I include the before and after texts below for you to judge
whether I'm being too harsh.

I don't think we should generally offer a free copy-editing service,
but I do think we should bounce listings back until we get something
that reflects positively on both Plone and the submitting company.

Alternatively we should allow mother-tongue listings and
opportunistically translate listings where possible.

meaning of the original.
