. That's funny, if you had asked me to list of what I think are
. Fortran's 10 biggest mistakes, COMMON blocks would probably be at the
. top.  They are probably the single largest cause of suicide among
. Fortran maintenance programmers, although implicit variable
. declarations might be close.

And I alway thought that ASSIGNed GOTOs were on the top of that list. :-)
