after much waiting the Slashdot effect appears to have STILL killed it (mirrors or not). ;)

aside from those that just don't want to deal with easy workarounds; diff addys, rerouting your purchasing traffic, etc., I'm surprised we're not just used to being taxed to death. In WA, we're taxed on so many things I can't tell what we're not supposed to be taxed on, etc. So when I see no tax, I'm amazed and delighted. :)
