What happened to Caffeine Chronicles and Lois Requist?

They've gone the way of other freelancers for Patch--unfunded and so unwritten. Does it make any difference? I was one voice with one opinion, but if this is what is happening to all the freelancers on Patch, I don't think that's very good. What do you think?

I was able to raise some issues, ask some questions, contribute in a sane way to the dialogue.
