I think I'm beginning to understand your reasoning. It's just taking some time for me to get to the "best practices" of CFC usage. Trying to get "anything" to work at first keeps my projects moving, while beginning to employ different coding techniques. I'm basically trying to learn by writing code for projects that are going live with these updates as soon as I can get them working...too busy for much practice.
Also, I'm a solo developer and never plan to code while working for anyone else..so as far as sharing code or compensation, it doesn't matter. My client's don't care, as long as the correct data shows up on their pages. But I am trying to figure out the best way to do all of this.
