No. I think it's great to write light weight solutions. I think that they also
have to have something really visible (like an H1) saying that it's a light
weight solution and not made for more than X or Y size. A manager sees it,
thinks its great and makes is a company wide bug tracker. I didn't even see the
docs (I don't have the devnet CDs) so I can't say if it has to be altered. The
onus here is really on my boss, not you.

And the way you do brings back memories of Spectra which is the root of my
comment. :)

Hm. So if someone was stringent on how they use CFTHROW (if they use it at all),
then it would do the same. Personally, I don't throw errors. I write code to
deal with specific error events. I just like to be specific about error
handling.
