Reuben,
There's been an NNTP mirror of the CF-Talk mailing list for the last while.
Point your NNTP client to fuseware.com and select the CF-Talk newsgroup.
I've been using it for the last 6 months or so, and find it much superior to
getting 200+ emails a day, or 2 or 3 huge digests.
regards,
larry
