I share your concerns about the quality of the research and analysis. As a sourcing professional, I find analyst reports useful. HOWEVER, I can\'t \"check my brains at the door\"! I need to do my own research to ensure their research isn\'t flawed or biased. Unfortunately, not all of my colleagues have or will take the time to do that. I\'m grateful for the blogosphere which facilitates the dissemination of additional perspective in these situations. Not everyone has a huge PR budget to get their message out. Thanks to E-Sourcing Forum for providing such an avenue. David, thanks for setting the record straight. I share your concerns about the quality of the research and analysis.
