  Please, please, please don't go :-).  Seriously Dave, don't let it get
to you.  No matter what you do on this net, you're bound to piss someone
off eventually.  Hell, I've been exclaimed, I've been ignored and I've
been flamed - I should know.  My attitude has always been to learn from my
mistake or at least try to understand the other persons perspective.  In
doing so I've learned alot and I'm thankful for that.

  In your case, you'll just have to understand that there are
people that have very strong feelings about the use goto.  I advised
you to at least consider what they have to say.

BTW: I would have mailed to you directly but there's no return mailing
path in you signature.
