[Deo volente]

Savage had vanished. An afternoon came, and he was missing from the radio: a few thoughtless people commented on his absence. On the next day nobody mentioned him. On the third day Winston went into the vestibule of the Records Department to look at the notice-board. One of the notices carried a printed list of the hosts of the network’s shows, of whom Savage had been one. It looked almost exactly as it had looked before – nothing had been crossed out – but it was one name shorter. It was enough. Savage had ceased to exist: he had never existed.

Nice one, Deo. Thanks for reminding us of the imperishable greatness of Orwell.

And the next day, Free Republic disappeared.

The ICANN transfer of the domain name Registry off American soil will be the end of the internet as we know it. Call your Congressmen tomorrow.
