I can appreciate that. I like a consistent coding style if for no other reason than to know what to expect when you are maintaining the code.
Problem is, sometimes I have trouble distinguishing between people's best practices, and knee jerk reactions. That was why I asked-- to see if there was a valid reason, or if it was just the token response to any thread involving cf functions.

The application of best practices doesn't always make a difference in any given case. The point of applying best practices is that you don't have to evaluate each case individually. That's why there are so few actual best practices! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:300338 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
