I'm sure the spiders have plenty of non-TCLUG copies of LKML in their databases already. Have you considered setting up a robots.txt to kill off that load, even if only as a temporary measure until the LKML injection is complete? It wouldn't solve the performance problems, but I would expect it to help some. BTW, if python developers are found to work on mailman, let me know. I'd be happy to throw some money in the pot. -- When we reduce our own liberties to stop terrorism, the terrorists have already won. - reverius Innocence is no protection when governments go bad. - Tom Swiss
