(OT) Blogger Blackout

Gentlemen,

For much of the day I have not been able to access any "Blogger" sites (including "EvE").  I believe that this was a deliberate "blackout" by Blogger in protest of the passage of CISPA (the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act) by the US House of Representatives.

A significant number of major internet companies have protested this event by "blacking out" their services today.  Nevertheless, Blogger (and thus EvE) now seems to be back online.

French Flag information sought...

Did the Milices Bourgeoises volunteer units carry flags in the 18th century? If they did can anyone point me to some info about them?
cheers

L'Estato dou Langdouc

'EvE', our dear dazibao, is 'not the place for... the history of your country or other things that belong on your personal blogs'. But on the other hand it is a little...dozy these day, so I dare to intrude and invite you to the Estato dou Langdouc.
