actually I'd agree with that - it depends of course on the list
controllers and on the people on the list being happy enough with it
but I much enjoy the facility cf-talk etc use
([EMAIL PROTECTED] for an example) - it's
dead simple, very quick to find what you're looking for and easy to
read.  I find the interface on the cfaussie lists pretty kludgy...

It also (as Mark spoke about) makes the posts visible to google, which
more than once has helped me quickly find an answer.

just a thought.
