Yes, I believe it is worth it. I am talking about a large public stance, not isolated individuals. I am talking about having a clear message to answer the 'why are things down?" question. > Unfortunately, my work place is not where > I > choose to stand on my soapbox. > The webserver is under my complete control and > guidance.

Tim, the webserver is under your control because you are technical adept and responsible. That very same responsiblity is exactly why a public 'geek shrugged' day would be totally appropriate. Consider it a message to be sent. A single day where EVERYONE took the stand and said "Sorry, but we are going to show our muscle, our ethics and most of all, our refusal to let Corporate/Government decisions that make no sense stand." Stepping off my own soapbox... And I'm seriously considering starting a website for this idea.. I think it has some real merit given the history of the last few weeks and more so, the future outlook of things. Seth p.s.
