>- see footer for list info -< Nope, wasn't related to that at all, honestly. It's a long-standing bone of contention and one I wish I had time to sit down and develop a proof case more conclusively. Still, I hoped that the agreement from others also experienced in CFML would help make the point well enough for most. :-)
