I really love this list... I read it on the Fuseware mirror (NNTP rocks!) and I often look in on alt.comp.lang.coldfusion and other non-CF related newsgroups, and I'm always amazed at the low signal-to-noise ratio that CF-Talk has. I read pretty much every post, and the vast majority of them have some value to me. Thanks everyone!
