Using sessions to keep track of paging is problematic.  The  
difficulty comes when the user has 2 browser windows open paging  
through different result sets from the same site.  You would need a  
way to decipher which result set was being paged.  Of course there  
are ways to do this, but you would still end up needing to pass some  
token using GET or POST to identify which result set is being paged  
through - and then we are back to the same problem.
