It still doesn't stop the fact that PyYIMt 1) lacks usable documentation, 2) 
doesn't do anything PyMSNt can't do better, 3) crashes and leaks memory like 
only Windows running GAIM and Netscape 4 could ever hope for before PyYIM, 
and 4) like all the other transports, only connects to obsolete networks 
replaced by Jabber anyway...

I've been meaning to create these pages for a while now:
http://wiki.blathersource.org/wiki/index.php?title=PyYIMt
http://wiki.blathersource.org/wiki/index.php?title=PyIRCt

So I've create a wiki account, and once it's been confirmed I will see
if I can start on some docs.  You're welcome to contribute too.

PyYIMt can connect to the yahoo servers, PyMSNt can't.

Doesn't crash nearly as often since I've gotten my grubby paws at it.
I'm interested in hearing feedback on memory usage.

Q: Should we start spreadxmpp.org ? spreadjabber.org ? (sounds like
something I should post on the xmpp.net list)

But, MSN users can add Yahoo users without problem.  And PyMSNt is actually 
stable.

Well, I have 3GB of RAM installed and a couple gigs of swap, and I've actually 
run out of address space running PyYIMt before.

How odd.  I rarely have problems with PyYIMt and PyIRCt.  The only  
problems I've run into is that they tend to go byebye on me if the  
server goes away.  (the other Pys keep trying to reconnect)
