Not only that, but also something I haven't seen anyone note in this
thread: the gains are very small. The part of the population that uses text
browsers is a) very small and b) technologically literate - i.e. most of
them would already know about SOPA. Although there are more people using
scriptblock, these people will be in general also quite technologically
literate.
Remember - this banner was not there for us to see. It was for the average
office worker, teacher and students. And we have all laughed at the
reactions on twitter - reactions that only showed we have reached the
target audience.
