		PRAGUE, Czech Republic, Aug. 12 (UPI) -- Unlike the Ukraine military's air catastrophe last year, plenty of photographers were on hand to record all the gory details of the recent air-show disaster near the city of L'viv.
		The images snapped July 27 at the world's deadliest air-show disaster focused international attention on Ukraine's air force and rekindled doubts about competency raised last fall when, unseen by photographers, a Ukrainian missile, fired accidentally, downed a Russian passenger jet over the Black Sea.
		Now, those raw color photos and lingering doubts are haunting Ukraine leaders as they knock on the door of the West.

	Spam Unsubscribe Services
		A 'remove list' database that could hold that volume of addresses would take each spammer days to 'wash' their lists against it - and at the end each spammer's list would be practically empty.
		Spammers add thousands of traded or harvested addresses to their lists every day and would therefore have to keep washing their lists every day against the "Global Remove List" to ensure previously-removed addresses have not simply been imported back on.
		No spammer would ever use a "global" or "unified remove list" because all spammers believe that people who remove themselves from other spammers lists would not have removed themselves from theirs, since all spammers believe the junk they send is different from the junk other spammers send.
