Joe,

 JM>   After the merger it became The Herald-Dispatch and quickly went
 JM> downhill with their standards.  With no competition they just cover (or
 JM> not) whatever they want.

  Sounds like the Wal-Mart of periodicals. They put everyone else out of
business, then they charge whatever they want, and have whatever they want.

 JM>   The local rag is worthless.
 JM>   And a few years ago they went from seven to four columns, and stopped
 JM> printing a Monday edition.
 JM>   I read it online.

  I no longer read a paper online...I couldn't afford it.

 JM>   I imagine they wondered who brought the paper in that day.  :)

  Well, they can read the news while they graze. 

 JM>    Ssh, don't give _those_ people any ideas...

  Well, I guess I'm working toward grovel mode again. :P I'm sure they
can get the ideas without my help.

Daryl
