I agree with Dylan, with Coldfusion, as most things, there is always more
than one way to skin a Cat.
It's nice to see how different people handle the same problem.

i still disagree with this. here's why:
1) sometimes answers are wrong
2) some people post really innovative solutions even after the problem might
have been "solved"
some people might be frustrated when the SAME answer is posted over and
over. well...delete the thread. i don't think the answer is asking people
not to respond just because there's a response that looks like an answer.

Instead of quickly hitting reply and sending out the answer, one can
quickly scan the inbox or the digest to see if its been answered and then
not reply.

There must be a way to let us know the question has been answered!
Let's think about it!
