Thanks Bryan, that helps... not that it's really any of my business anyway.
It's just that once in a while someone says something that makes me cringe... your post about application vars was one of them. There are so many misperceptions or even just situations where someone says things about "CF" that haven't applied since 4.5 or 5 but they still thinks it's true. It helps to get an explanation of why people think what they do, if for no other reason than to encourage conversation, which leads to growth and development. I appreciate the explanation. I understand now! ;) For me, the application scope has really become the core of applications... I've radically altered the way I approach applications since MX because of the fact that reference to static variables don't need to be locked and so on... it's there, and it oughta be used to it's greatest advantage!
