ha ha, you lot _are_ funny! All programmers are wordsmiths; it's all we do all day, so collecting just the right word is something we have a penchant for... _but_ when I'm following a bug-trail thru UniVerse, via SB+, into a variety of aspx, and vb's along the way, I've certainly not got that perfectly matched needlesharp retort at hand, I merely want to communicate the essence of the thought, however verbose my attempt is.
Really, one could stoop to asking 'have you nothing better to do?'. You would LIKE to but you won't... I echo the wtf... If you do want to don't (nobody is forcing you) I'm loving this convo... if there was ever a match on the Wall of Fame for disgusting code it has to be the RETURN TO.!!!! I did the 'maintenance programmer' stint for a number of years, where companies paid you 5x more to do the jobs none of their staff could face. So many programs were IF THEN/CASE statements that rambled over 6 screens, with hundreds of badly named gosubs, so that process flow truly sucked, and then, in the midst of such finery, you start unearthing RETURN TO, some of which did so out of a loop, sometimes returning but most often not. Even the Chinese never got noodles to be as tangled as those.
