Well that explains why I didn't see it. It was posted during Shabbos when I don't use any electronics. Then on Sunday I worked from 7am - 10pm and evidently never had to consult the encyclopedia for anything. I finally noticed the new notice on Monday night. The only mass media I consume regularly is local radio (WCBS & WQXR mostly). I did, however, check my email frequenly during the period with the exception of during Shabbos. I don't subscribe to Foundation-L, I never figured I would be interested in most of the discussions there. I don't want to slog through the whole discussion, but did anyone at least suggest "rolling" blackouts to minimize the damage? Something like the site's "off" for the first half of each hour, then "on" for the latter half? Wouldn't that make a sufficient statement? It's not like en.wiki's facing an immediate existential threat like it.wiki did. This action really seems like overkill to me- swatting flies with hand grenades...
