Sean, In the Macromedia Press/Ben Forta Advanced ColdFusion MX book, he has a fair amount of text and examples related to the usage of the THIS scope (chapter 17). I was just curious what the rationale was back then when that was written (my copy is copyright 2003) to show examples related to THIS, but almost no examples of what is commonly known today to be best practice (variables scope, et al). Was that just plain 'wrong' in the book, was it wishful thinking, or has CFMX changed to where that was right then but wrong now? Just curious, since given the author list its tantamount to biblical doctrine. Or something.
