    However that was a unique moment in news and internet history.

    I'm afraid that the Ukraine issue (which does slightly affect me more than the average slashdotter - bumped into a colleague at heathrow heading that way to film it this evenong) is not something of the scale is like to se on a site for news for gloop, stuff that tastes
