Subject: Linked list stuff

I have seen some discussion on using linked lists for things.

If you want to use linked lists, I would suggest skiplists.
They use only about 1.3 pointers per element, give random access which is
O(log2(n)), and are very simple.  They were invented by Bill Pugh, and a web
search will turn up code for one in most any language.  Sequential access is
still O(1) also.  I have a C++ template I use for them.  They should have been
added to the STL.  Shrug.
