I think this thread needs to die here. This is a ColdFusion list, not
an ASP one. There are a number of excellent ASP resources out there; if
anyone is interested, email me off-list.
More importantly, this is a list for professionals. What you say in
here reflects on you, and on the company your represent. If someone
says something which you find offensive, go grab a cup of coffe, smoke a
cigarette, etc., then come back, think of what you want to say, and then
ask yourself, "Does this contribute to the purpose of this
list/usergroup?" before you hit send. I know that little "X" in the
upper right hand corner has saved me from making a fool out of myself
more than a few times.
Let's keep it professional and talk up some great ColdFusion!
