I thought as much. The same was/is said with PHP - but I think CF would do
a really good job, probably better. I did a search on allaire.com and found
only ~one~ which was pretty limited (it posted a msg to a newsgroup. That's
it). I've always considered it a powerful idea to have a web-based front
end for NNTP.
Thoughts welcome.
