not to mention the fact that your HTML will not get rendered correctly if you simply abort a page, which may result in your friendly error message not being displayed properly, if at all. So i'd have to agree with Andrew that this really belongs in the realms of debugging not on a production site or you are just asking for trouble. But to each his own, you can also smoke cigarettes at a gas station if you want, but I would really suggest not doing it :-)
