306 posts, 1445 comments, 12,000 subscribers and 30,000 RSS-feeders later, "Horses" today makes it to 2 years' old.
There's never been much of a plan, just a platform for good discussion, sharing of ideas, and open debate on tough issues for the global sourcing industry - and all with a hint of cranky sarcasm. And we try to keep it unbiased...
Drop me a note if you have any suggestions on what you would like to see more/less of on here - your input is always welcome. And a special thank you to all of you who come here regularly and support this site (you know who you are).
