It's a super-sneaky code. You take all of the posts sent to c.l.p and determine whether they are spam or ham; a spam post represents a 0 bit, and a ham post is a 1 bit. The flurries of spam are carefully timed to interleave with actual user posts in order to transmit information. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
