    I just found this in the project that I inherited ... it is working code. You don't have to be expert in ColdFusion to see that's something wrong with this :)

        looks like code that at one time did something, but then got changed but never cleaned up

        Einstein argued that there must be simplified explanations of nature, because God is not capricious or arbitrary. No such faith comforts the software engineer. -Fred Brooks

            That's actually not matter of faith: while nature obeys God's plans, the software engineer deals with project manager's ones. :-D

              I've done that; I've shrunk the range of a for loop for testing and then forgot to put it back.
