That was fast!   Whoh!   Is there a press release or did I just miss it?   Gizmodo does have a somewhat -spotted- history in terms of journalistic integrity, I should've considered that they might have missed it.

>Personally, I like to see this kind of activism, but I tend to respect anyone's right to make the choice for themselves.  I don't have a site on GoDaddy, so I can't support the effort directly, but I thought I'd pass along the word, and support them indirectly.  Would it be an abuse to ask if someone can pass along the word to the crowd at DenHac?
