Walter, did you read the thread? What has this post to do with it (it is
of course true, and would be true for the substitution of practically
any other word for Goto). It certainly has nothing to do with whether
or not exceptions are gotos.

Perhaps it is just a mischievous troll to see if you can get this thread
to degenerated into yet another silly discussion of gotos (which I agre
it is perilously close to -- after all it had a very shaky foundation
to start with :-)
