Oh, a flash protest, one that seems to have been announced with a press release only yesterday and pushed by the EFF just one hour ago.

Well, it is too short notice for me to invest the time to black out my website, so I will not be supporting this. Maybe there will be a similar action next year that I will support, if it is better advertised beforehand.

It was announced here a month ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7037548

What did that page say back then? I missed that story. I subscribe to several EFF feeds and I recall nothing about a Swartz anniversary protest.

Maybe you're not on the EFF email list or Facebook group? They've been promoting this for several weeks (actually too much for my liking, so it's interesting for me to hear that others weren't aware of it).

Can you be any less likable if you tried? It's been advertised, you just haven't seen it.

That's not entirely their fault, advertising is not free. You don't have to be all snobby about it. Sheesh.
