[support] Issues with initializing Variables on startup..

[Scott Matthews]

Okay, you are just proving my point.

The variable_*** methods as well as settings.php are using $conf for  
the array of set variables.  THis documentation on the site just  
forwarded says it is for the configuration path.   That's what I was  
saying that they are conflicting and my variables are not getting set  
correct.  I'm getting the impression that my concerns are being  
brushed aside as "All my problem".
