True, but newbies don't understand how to use goto properly. I think that when most people tell someone not to use goto, what they're really saying is, 'don't use goto that way'. The way that this person used goto was just really wrong. I think newbies need to be scared into thinking that things like goto are taboo until they learn much more. Then, they'll realize how to use them properly.
