    When I posted this goto statement[^] comment I didn't think it would grow as such. I think I touched a deeply controversial topic in the development world. I then suggested on CodeProject to vote regarding GOTO and they replied on me with this old vote[^]

    I saw a sign in a shop window today - The local Brownies group are having a cake sale this weekend down at the Church Hall.

        It's a topic that has been "discussed" once too often. While it has its uses in procedural languages, it rarely has one in a modern OO language. Its use is discouraged simply because it makes it hard to follow the programs' flow, often resulting in what is known as spaghetti-code. A simple mind would summon that up as "goto is bad". The best practice nowadays would be ravioli-code. What controverse?

                    You just did that. Touched an open nerve of every developer.

                                      What does the Geneva Convention have to say about that? Nothing good, I'll wager. Say. Isn't that war over? German cuisine - another mouthwatering allusion?
