yep
Keep in mind that pound signs are only necessary when you want to evaluate a
variable inside a string. If you need to reference a variable's value then
you must either:
use quotes AND pound signs (<cfset foo = "#bar#">)
OR
NO quotes and NO pound signs (<cfset foo = bar>)
You CAN do this: <cfset foo = #bar#> - but who in their right mind would
want to?
If you use quotes and no pound signs you are only referencing the variable
name - NOT its value! There are times when you will want to do this - like
isDefined("variables.foo").
It all makes sense after you work with it for a while
