An "EWriteError in ...." is more friendly to the users?

Hmmz... I did isapi modules a year ago, so i checked up the help on 
TWebResponse.ContentStream and thought i must have dreamt that
TWebResponse took ownership of the stream (hence the except and not
finally). So i look up the code and: 


destructor TWebResponse.Destroy; begin   FContentStream.Free;

so my code basically goes like this:
   jpgOut:= TJPEGImage.Create;    try       // generate jpgOut
      ms:= TMemoryStream.Create;       try         jpgOut.JPEGNeeded;         jpgOut.SaveToStream(ms);       except         ms.Free;       end;
      Response.ContentStream:= ms;       Response.ContentStream.Position:= 0;       Response.ContentType:= 'image/jpeg';       Handled:= true;    finally       jpgOut.Free;    end;
is that flawed?
