[thelist] RE: (answer) Randomizing Question

[Raymond K. Camden]

Jeff, I've spoken with some people internally at Allaire, and the short
answer is that there is no problems with either cases. Ie, no memory leaks
from <CFSET STR = "foo and #func()# and more foo"> or <CFSET
SomeFunctionThatReturnsTemp()>

Of course - the upshot is - if you do something that makes your site work
better, screw what I say. :)
