Lucius, goto's _are_ effective ..
One out of 10, maybe 15 algorithms I use, depends on flag variables to jump out
of multiple
levels of a loop.  Now that's messy.

Also 'spaghetti' code, its a cliche. The whole concept. You are just repeating
some body
else. No offense, but we all know what the public's opinion is about goto,
premarital sex,
other races, nationalism and drugs. Let me restate your comment.

Goto's are a very strong component of code.
Without goto, creating code is more difficult.

Isn't this what really meant ?

And yes, you can give me examples of spaghetti code, I would give you examples
of the
macaroni we are forced to eat, by the lack goto, nowadays. I mean, you can,
technically, kill
a person with a fork, so should we make a fork illegal ?
