This has been discussed on the list before, and even I think just last week (so check the archives, using "server variables asp" as your search criteria). Some theories suggest that it would entail a lot of overhead, unless you only have a few users to keep track of simultaneously. Possible suggestions are 1) if the data doesn't change, put it into an includefile 2) if the data is dynamic, be clever and implement this yourself with database-managed persistence (but beware the overhead).
