I had a very funny experience with cftry/catch. I was taking responsibility for a huge and kludgey application that was the result of 2-3 different developers over time. The developer before me had put try/catches all over the place. They just caught 'any' and emailed him the error. I wasn't really paying attention to this until one day I accidentally created an infinite loop on a page. I was trying to figure out why my page was just sitting and spinning with nothing happening, then I decided it must be stuck in a loop. No big deal, I fixed it and moved on. A couple of hours later I got a call from the previous developer, who had just received 2-3 thousand emails from the app! Serves him right for setting it up that way. :-D
