I have actually asked Geoff about connecting to the news lists remotely and be able to query it externally as I wanted to be able to search it from my cfcetral.com.au site.
No such luck apparently, allthough still working on it. I will be posting alot of CFUG info on my site, and any other groups who wish to put some info on there are most welcome to also.

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.
