What a silly value to have in the querystring. lol. That's the problem with scripting. You can't make too many calls to the database at one time.
Never mind the forum I use. It's almost as bad queryStringWise. lol. It too was built by inward facing programmer types. However, I can also use values of my own making in the querysting because all my querystring shit is built on the fly, and since it's abstracted, I can just swap another provider in. I just haven't figured out how what I want it to look like. It should definately have crawl value though...
You should see the dataprovider my community uses. It's so f**kin sweet. No more sprocs! Holy sh*t! So modularized and object oriented I can build like the wind. I can also tear apart and reuse like the wind too. Refactoring man, that's what life is all about

Sorry. What was the question?
