Please forgive this OT post. I'm going to share a short story that will
rank up there with the jedimasterwhoppersupreme bug. The single biggest
'leap' in my programming skill occured when I was 11 or 12 and learning
AppleSoft basic. I couldn't get even the simplest code to work.

Turns out... I was forgetting to hit the enter key. In other words, I'd
enter:

10 print 1
20 print 2

and was hitting the spacebar to wrap the cursor to the next line.

-shudder-

Now no one will read my posts again. Oh well. :)

Since I cluttered the list, let me share a tip. It's a good idea to
include returnType for your cfc method declarations. However, do not
forget that if the returnType you specify is NOT in the default list, MX
will assume you mean an instance of a CFC. So, one mistake people often
make is to say, returnType="number" when they really mean
returnType="numeric". When you use number, MX assumes you need to return
an instance of a CFC of type "Number". More on this here:
