Is Our Patch On Thin Ice?

I've been sorry to read that AOL is firing as many as 500 jobs at various Patches.  Vienna apparently already took a hit; I hope Reston won't be next.  For more on the firings see http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-08-16/aol-is-said-to-be-cutting-about-500-jobs-at-patch.html .  Even after the recent (unfortunate, in my opinion) changes to the Patch's format it's still a great source of local news.  We love our Patch!  Please don't mess with it, AOL!
