Well actually it is fair, because the insertion time for the linked list
is constant, as long as you have a handle to the insertion point. That's
pretty much the reason for using it. Inserting at the start will be just
as fast/slow as inserting in the middle. I just didn't feel like
rewriting the class so that it would take an arbitrary insertion point.
Paul was right all along.
