I agree. Truly wise. All kinds of discussions of this before. Check the 
archives. My two cents again is that a subroutine is just a computed goto. A 
subprocedure is a black box or can be. You cannot encapsulate logic in a 
subroutine because you cannot have local variables. Every time you call a 
subroutine, you have to consider it's impact on the whole program. Any variable 
you changed could have screwed up something else. So on and so forth. 
Seriously, why would you still want to us a subroutine anymore unless you 
absolutely have to? Try to create a library of reusable code with subroutines. 
What a mess.

Really? That is a good thing? Why is that?
