Sometime after midnight on Sept. 26, Avalon, Rense, and every alternative site I could find including my own, were all down. Mainstream sites were fine. I posted it about it at the time, and several of you who have your own servers reported back that they, too, had been down at about that time. I'm pretty sure this was a deliberate attack, and since then there have been one or two nights when I couldn't connect to anything.

I don't know who or what is behind it, but nothing would surprise me. I agree with those who point out that we will not have the Internet forever. It is a historic linkup between ordinary people, and we need to make the most of it while we have it...but we need to be able to walk away, too.
