Again, if you read the entire thread carefully, you will see that I replied
to a specific question posed by Claude. His question was not the same as the
original poster's question, which I replied to separately. Claude's question
was "what is the value of separating presentation logic from application
logic?"

Thank you very much for your helpful advice on how to write. However, I
notice that you didn't write your answer in CF, but English. Personally, I
find similes and metaphors to be useful in explaining things. If you don't,
that's all well and good, but I'd prefer it if you didn't complain to me
about it. And again, if you read the thread, you will see that I did post
examples and experiences pertaining to separating presentation code from
generic application logic.

Oh, I don't know, perhaps because a lot of people - probably quite a bit
smarter than the both of us - have gained valuable and useful experience
about what works and what doesn't?

No, see, that's how conditional logic works. I can specify a condition,
which, if met, causes a specific response. As a programmer, you might find
that concept useful in the future. For example, assuming that the variable
"dumbAss" below can be cast as a Boolean:
<cfif Variables.dumbAss>
<cfoutput>#Variables.snideRemark#</cfoutput>
</cfif>
Now, that's not saying dumbAss is true, but if it is, we can respond
appropriately.

I don't think you did a very good job. That's just my opinion, of course.
Perhaps less bitterness, and more attention to detail, will help the next
time you want to spruce something up.
