Efficency and the standard library

I don't understand your meaning here either -- either you meant
"than you" rather than "with you", or the "you" was meant to be
plural, or something.

My guess was that you were extrapolating from your experience with
other alt.* groups to alt.usage.english. If you're really basing
your comments on having read a lot of posts in a.u.e. itself, well,
all I can say is that your experience doesn't match mine.

It occurred to me, finally (okay, a while back, but I'm just now
getting around to mentioning it here), that Google's archives
might provide a partial answer to my question.

And indeed, they do -- they show that you have posted to a.u.e. on
at least a few occasions, and the responses have been -- eh, pretty
consistent in my opinion with how your posts are received in other
newsgroups. <shrug>
