It definately lags (and you have to rememer to reply via email instead
of replying directly to the newsgroup -- posts to the newgroup stopped
being forwarded to the list a year or two back), but basically the
reason I use it is it puts everything in a neatly searchable database.
Which can be pretty cool if you've got it on your laptop somewhere and
need to look something up. :)

Course with the cf-talk archives being so spiffy these days it's
really only a plus if you're somewhere without 'net access.
