[thelist] if...or...then in asp

[David at softv.net]

Another nit-pickety sorta thing is that you should always use explicit
object references. If you simply use Request("item"), the ASP engine has to
iterate trough all of the Request object collections till it finds a match,
starting with the Server Variables, which incur a not-trivial performance
hit. Use:

Request.Form("item")
Request.QueryString("item")
Etc...

It also makes your code more "self-documenting"
