IS DU joining in with Wiki?

I was just wonding with Wiki and google and Yahoo protesting SOPA and PIPA tomorrow. Will DU being going dark or showing support in anyway?

If Not going Dark will there be any type of post on the front page or perhaps Breaking News not working to show how those acts might effect this site?

Maybe not if they figure that no Republican S.O.B would care about a political website like this one.

millions and millions use those other sites which provide services to all people. How exactly does DU fit into this?

who will be looking for DU and be inconvenienced when it isn't available - except members?

Sorry I don't know how hard this would be to do with html but........
Show a screen showing a warning about internet censorship, then after 60 seconds procead as normal.
I would like to think that progressives understand the implacations of SOPA however it would make the point.
Or some times said..

Don't it allways seam to go that ya don't know what ya got till it's gone.
