(...) Splitting the list into a page for each letter (or perhaps groups of 2-4 letters) or country/state would cut the page size down dramatically was my idea. Almost every time I've gone to look at the list, I'm either looking for a specific (...) (25 years ago, 18-Dec-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) it does - I think. When you post to .annouce, even from mail or nntp, doesn't it require a followup? if so, adding a few other rules to that check should be quite possible... (25 years ago, 18-Dec-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) I think it's more of a problem of having to have the page in memory (all 300k of it) while a slow client downloads it. Nothing much to do about that except make the page smaller - perhaps move all the FONT FACE entries to an all encompassing (...) (25 years ago, 18-Dec-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) I think that's a bit extreme, although what I snipped below is good discussion fodder. I think a number of the recent cross posts have been initiated by people who either are new, or who don't post as often as some of us. An initial cross post (...)

(...) How about breaking down the member pages into pages split by first letter of first or last name, and by country/state? I'm not sure if your "caching" means keeping the indexes by each sort but it would seem this need not be true dynamic (...) (25 years ago, 17-Dec-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

Todd, Is there some way to shut down the excessive cross posting which has been occurring lately? I'm beginning to feel that Lugnet might be better off if no cross posting was allowed, though I can see some reason for limited cross posting. Some (...)

(...) It's actually infinitely worse than that. The NFA it produced actually had exponential performance, so it would try to do it 2^80 (2 raised to the 80th power) times, which would take about 302,200,000,000,000,000 seconds or about ten thousand (...)

Since it would match any newline, and start adding up the whitespace until it found the beginning of a new paragraph. it'll backtrack to the next blank line, try again, and fail once more.... if you have (...)
