Argh! The list is user dependent - it's got to be thread-safe. So if the Action puts the array for the iterator in the request, how can I make sure that no other user gets it? I know what you're going to say - put it in the session, right? But then at the end of the day a user who uses the site intensively all day might end up with a rowset or even two in their session for every page in the site. So what do I do?
