Will we make it another ten years? We could – only time will tell. For sure, there is no other site like Horn Matters.
As I close, I would like to thank especially Bruce Hembd again. He actually picked up the Horn Matters domain with an idea that it was a great website name, and then things came together and we were able to create the site you see today. I am more of a content/editing person, and Bruce not only wrote quite a lot of our top content, also, he is the brains behind the site; my actual web skills are not nearly as high.**
Thank you to our advertisers and readers for your support for Horn Matters, and keep spreading the news that we are still open for business!
**Very much reminded of this with struggles this past week with my hornnotes.com site. I could never develop a site like Horn Matters on my own.
