"Code and let code," could be my motto. I usually don't have much sympathy for the religious moralist kind of programmer who insists that his own style is the One True Way. But in this particular case, if a committee voted to draw and quarter the perpetrator, I would not be conspicuously vocal in his defense. Dave Jones, Hackist P.S.
