Web sites were taken down, Irish bulletin boards were removed from computer "favorites" lists, and overnight the initials IRA meant Individual Retirement Account instead of, well, you-know-what. I believe it was Thomas Paine who coined the phrases "summer soldier" and "sunshine patriot", and I suppose these titles are fitting enough for some of those who drifted away during that time.
