Sometimes, you do write some funny ... stuff, Hugh. Unfortunately, it's usually in the middle of a TL;DR rant. Sadly, I knew a guy who programmed like that. His code was the absolute worst spaghetti code you ever saw. This wasn't because he wasn't smart. It was because he never learned, nor applied structured coding concepts in a disciplined manner to his code. Doing that is a choice. It won't simply happen. It can't always be enforced by the language. Rod Pemberton -- Scientists now say we'll experience a mini-ice in 2030. So, I guess we need more global warming today ...
