Which has what on earth to do with CF exactly? I for one am sick and tired of reading "... well in Ruby ..." on a list that's supposedly intended to discuss CFCs. I understand making analogies between languages to foster discussion or make a point, but this is getting a bit ridiculous. Because Ruby says to put a $ before global variables (and the concept of global variables is a discussion in and of itself ...), that makes it OK? If you want to make language comparisons, there are far more modern languages in which this would be bad style (at the very least) than there are in which doing this would make sense. -- Matt Woodward [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.mattwoodward.com ---------------------------------------------------------- You are subscribed to cfcdev.
