You know, I see MUCH more of that than I'd like - from experienced developers. Not the variable assignment part which is what I'm sure you were highlighting, but the assignment of a variable to another scope for no particular reason. I can't tell you how often I see things like <cfset variables.myVar = request.someVar />.
>From the context, there's absolutely no reason for the assignment except to copy the value into the "local" scope. Ugh.
