 Being from Missouri, I've got to see it to believe it.  Even the
 various published pundits who say essentially the same as you never 
 show an example of "the judicious goto".

 I suppose.  But I've found a fascinating correlation.  There are some
 folks who find goto quite useful to exit from deep inside nested
 loops.  Then there are those who don't get stuck inside of deeply 
 nested loops in the first place.
