Ah, that's what I was getting at when in reference to CF's I said;

"" Will CF's make RPG more readable/maintainable??
If you really believe this one,  I have some choice
property for you to  invest in.   If a person is a sloppy 
programmer and writes ugly code,   It don't make no 
difference Jack,  what language that programmer uses,
it's going to look #@$%ing ugly. ""

Whether it was 15 years ago or 15 minutes ago

Lets start a new movement,

Stampout Ugly Code  - SUC

Our motto should be 
" I don't care if it runs,  It's @#$%ing Ugly,   Get Rid of It !!  "
