Hmmm... yea, I guess I could see a more complex login area with its own application.cfm that would retain the username ... particularly if it were for multiple sites / apps which each required its own separate login ( likely with a different password ) ... Though their login page had it's own directory and application.cfm ( to prevent an indefinite loop sending not-logged-in users back to the login prompt :) it was just the one app and they weren't using session management to retain it there...
