Tell Us: How's Jefferson Patch Doing?

James Rainey, a writer for the Los Angeles Times, is doing a column for Saturday's paper on Patch, and he is asking Patch readers to tell him how they think Patch is doing.

So what's your take?

Are we useful? Interesting? Informative?

How do we compare to the local daily papers, weekly papers, TV stations, cable access stations, online bulletin boards, local bloggers, and so on?

Do we sometimes get it right? Almost always get it right? Respond to your complaints? Cover what you think needs to be covered?

We've only been here a few months so we'd like to know how you think we're doing so far. Tell us, in the comment area, below, but also send Jim a note. (By the way: if you've got a complaint, just keep the tone civil and the language family-friendly. We're glad to take constructive criticism, and to address it wherever we can.)
