reason we're not doing linked lists is because that sort of
functionality is generally being handled by an RDBMS. Taversing and
displaying the list for instance -- instead we perform a sql select in
a cfquery and just display them in order... and actually... this
method is much more dynamic and easier to implement than linked lists,
since we don't have to deal with all the recursive functionality to
sort the list in different ways.
