The problem with pet peeves is that they're often hard to justify logically. I have yet to see a real definition for "persistent" that would rule out its use to describe CF memory variables. I guess it depends on how you define the program that's running - I tend to think of each individual .cfm file as a separate program, so if something lasts beyond its scope, it's "persistent". Also, I wasn't aware that the Session scope is shared.
