Lets see, for some it'll be missed.  Perhaps the employees will
notice when the damn office is locked, or when their bills come 
due.  Perhaps the pensioners (some of them are still alive?) will 
notice.....especially if they get screwed.  
On the other hand, the publisher won't mind.  He made his money, 
his kids' trusts are paid up, hell, his mortgage was over years ago.
THe competing papers won't mind.  Their advertising rates will 
double, and with the glut of reporters and photographers now on 
the streets, they can pick and choose.  To hell with raises!!
We got plenty of people wanting your job.......if 'ya don't 
like it here, go on over to the competition....HA!

you're right, probably won't matter at all....anybody remember the 
Dallas Times Herald?
