WILL ANTI-BUSINESS HATE FEST KILL SV PATCH?

From Business Insider and New York Times: “Starting today, AOL is going to shrink its local news network Patch from 900 sites to about 600, letting go 250 to 500 people in the process…” “… an effort to reach profitability in a division that has failed to gain traction with consumers and has suffered huge losses financially…”

So, which Northern California Patch sites will soon be unplugged? Will the reported AOL business decision include shutdown of the Sonoma Valley Patch site, AKA Hutchinson-Nero Message Board? Or will the decision be made to continue providing Sonoma Valley residents the opportunity to read little more than the ongoing anti-business, Darius Anderson hate fest? Just asking.
