This is wrong -- there are a wide variety of computational complexity classes other than P and NP.  The content should probably be separated into articles, one for P, one for NP, and any others for any other computational classes anyone cares to write an article about, with this page serving as background and links to more specific articles.  --[[User:JBL|JBL]] 17:41, 4 November 2006 (EST)
