Well I would think the same way, but as you wrote, once tried VB one
knows, that one has to be careful...
There are really a lot of languages and scripts out there, so better
safe than not.
As for debugging/reading of code - this can really minimise code, and
by that give a better overview. Some may think it is a bit harder to
read, but I rather have a few lines of code than 3 screens of it.
Thanks, all
