If there's a day chosen on which anti-SOPA sites are urged to black out (which there is), I feel like HN would be obligated to comply based on the sentiments of the community toward the bill. And so what if HNers know about SOPA? It's the action that counts. A page with information on how to contact your representative would be more effective here than on most sites, given all the relatively active, well-spoken, and well-informed SOPA opponents on HN. If you do say no to a blackout, please offer a better alternative. It'd be depressing if the bill passed and we didn't do our best to stop it.
