Checked up on my district's reps. They all seem to be opposing SOPA. I will be contacting them anyways.

I sat in front of my computer hitting the refresh button waiting for the nightmare to end...

P.S. I had already called, faxed, emailed, sent a letter and went to my local congressional and Senator's district offices to express my opposition to SOPA.

Looking back often to see when it came back online. Were we warned about the blackout at WF? Anyway, was waiting for private messages and all.

  It would have been nice to be able to bypass the message but I guess it gives a taste and proves the point of there being no site if SOPA were put into action and encourages people to bid against it.
  
  Thanks

There where a couple of things I could have done that involved WF however there was plenty of other things to do.

IMO much of what needs to be done to make a living on line doesn't even require you to open a browser.

Also being in Australia I slept through much of this black out.

The big question is what will happen if large sections of the Internet shut down permanently or develops national border like firewalls Republic of China style?

PS: Please don't sue me for quoting you.:p

Not much difference in my daily grind - talked a lot to my offline clients and prospects, worked on my CPA campaigns, composed some new email messages for my autoresponder and scoped out some new courses to promote at JVZoo.

Huddled in a corner shaking, sweating, and mostly muttering incoherently, I'm told. My memory of that horrible time is foggy at best, but apparently I was overheard sobbing while saying "Please Alan, I just need to buy one more WSO - just one more, and everything will be ok..."
