Gents,
Please don't make this about politics (which is smells strongly of at this point). I know you all know the rules and I absolutely hate having to send a thread to the IGWB. Please, please stick to the flow of electrons and not the flow of politics.
If you see that tubes are no longer available from the well established vendors then that is acceptable to post about. Leave Mr. Putin and his views out of it. That goes for any diatribe from Mr. Obama, the UN, the politicians of the Ukraine and any other posts directly related to political situations, political sanctions, or political actions.
I have learned the hard way that discussions of politics and/or religion can and will drive a stake in heart of even a lifelong friendship and are two of the most destructive subjects friends and family can take up discussion or debate of.
Peace.
