Surely those who saw the message weren't really observing the '2 minute silence' properly. It's about remembering, not just surfing PH quietly! I'm sure there are a number of people who, like me, didn't see the notice because we were in quiet contemplation, not surfing the web at that point!

Maybe those who saw the message on the screen took that as the start of their 2 minutes? I was on the BBC looking at photographs about 5 minutes before the silence. It really brings it all home.http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-11713676
Worst claptrap of political correctness.
It's been poppy MONTH this year.
What I fail to understand is the connection between the millions of DEAD soldiers from WW1 WW2 etc and the real LIVE soldiers being sent out to Afghanistan. THEY are the ones I'm concerned about and a couple of minutes silence is a pitifully inadequate substitute for addressing the real issues.

The shutdown was a few seconds early though.I tried posting a rushed message before the gongs and saw the message.
