Brian,

I agree with you.

For the record, I did not turn off any of my pages on any web sites under 
my control.  I never had any intention to do that.

The idea was not mine.  I was asked to pass it along and I agreed.  I would 
think individual webmasters would use their own judgement and common sense 
and act accordingly.

My web sites now have an American flag flying.  It has nothing to do with 
being a memorial, rather an attempt to unite under the flag.  IMHO, America 
has not been particularly unified for a while, but I will save such debates 
for another forum.

Dennis
