Re: Dark for 24 hours, starting now
And a follow-up to let everyone know the blackout is complete. The web site is back to normal, and all messages were processed today as usual. Thanks to everyone that supported our decision to black out the website for the day. Reading all the activity around SOPA/PIPA protests online today confirmed it was a good move.

As a consultant to ISPs, I can assure you that I fully support your actions, along with the other participants in the blackout. Along with a number of folks from my industry, I have written to a large number of Senators and Congressmen requesting that these bills be defeated. These are VERY BAD for the internet at large and the bills (in general) are way too vague.

Re: Dark for 24 hours, starting now
The only change is all web pages are serving HTTP 503 (Service Temporarily Unavailable) for the next 24 hours. There is no disruption to email archival. We noticed at least one other email archival service (marc.info) is also participating. -Jeff

While I absolutely agree with your decision to do so, I just wanted to double check. Is the mail still being archived during this dark period? -- * Butch Evans* Professional Network Consultation * * http://www.butchevans.com/ * Network Engineering * * http://store.wispgear.net/ * Wired or Wireless Networks * * http://blog.butchevans.com/ * ImageStream, Mikrotik and MORE!* * NOTE THE NEW PHONE NUMBER: 702-537-0979 * -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [email protected].
