Former ink-stained wretch and fellow attorney Tim Gebhart joins the fray in the Vilhauer v. Lalley Celebrity Death Match.

Read: Voices v. Vilhauer (or life in a Gannett newspaper town)

Excerpt:

I know that in the scheme of things these [Argus Leader format changes] are probably minor changes.Yet how much of the change comes from the readers? Does anyone reallythink readers told the Argus they want excerpts from the paper’s efforts to create an online presence? How many readers called or wrote in saying they really, really, really want to see pictures of other people’s pets? The fact of the matter is this decision originated at Gannett headquarters in McLean, Va., not the corner of 10th and Minnesota.

Keep this crazy-train rollin’!
