Don't use "this.f()". Use f(). I don't think "this" means the same in CF
as it does in the OO world.
As for the cfmodule syntax, I'm not sure where you got that from. I'd
suspect what's happening there is that the cfmodule is actually
instantiating the CFC, so it's actually making a call to a an object, not
within the CFC (class).
