    I did not want to offend you. It's just that I met enough people who could recite all kinds of rules as if they were holy commandments, but had not the slightest clue why it's not always a good idea to use these things. I don't think that those people are dumb. They have been made that way by training them to obey rules without questions.

    For many years I did not even realise there was a "rule" that you should not use GOTO (or GOSUB). when I moved to .net (from vb6) it just never needed to be used, there were better structures available.

      And then one day (hopefully not) someone came and told you what you can or can't do - because Mr. SoAndSo said that. Basta. I just don't need code monkeys. I don't want to become one myself and I don't try to make anyone a code monkey.

        This was mine: GPMG[^], "Gimpy" we called it. I also fired a Bren[^] and a Stirling[^].

        - I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.
