OK, its nice to have some external confirmation occasionally. I don't get to
see much code written by other people here ...

In my own defence (but thanks Brian)
1) as an impressionable undergrad I was brought up on a diet of functional
programming so using exceptions for control flow seems decadent :-)

2) I don't like using exceptions for non-exceptional behavior. Just a
personal foible.

I've changed my mind about the aesthetic objection. It doesn't look that bad
actually.

Thanks

Kevin
