Yes and as I tried to point out in my other email. My experience is that a lot of the developers at work have no idea on how to deal with cross tables or even what one is. They end up defaulting to doing this list in a database column and then reverting to CFM to make a search possible. I end up seeing massive amounts of CFM in pages to handle what could have easily been done via a cross table. If they were used to always doing things with cross tables they would not run into this problem. I can not think of an example where something would not work or need massive amounts of CFM to work if they were doing the list in a column.
As one of the leads in a CFM group, I personally would rather see cross tables always used instead of never used. Of course I also would rather see people know when to use a cross table and when to use a list in a DB column, but that seems to be asking for too much. Guess that is the problem in only some work areas and I unfortunatly am in one of those areas.
