Agreed, but let's not exaggerate. Threads are finite, so big O is not really relevant. Spam OTOH is boundless, and that's where the bandwidth is going. > and makes things harder to read as well. Indeed, and that's why I thanked Michael. Trimming can be a PITA if you're using a crummy MUA, and for reasons I have no intention of even trying to remember, let alone understand, a lot of people are very attached to their crummmy MUAs. But adding a few words to at least make it a little readable (whether apologetic or factual) would make me a lot happier ... given that they're going to top post anyway. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
