John,

No reason to recommend against modules. If you look at the compliation, a
Module is created as a public singleton class with all methods static
(shared). Modules are therefore OO. Avoiding them because at one point they
were pre-OO is like avoiding methods from the Microsoft.Visualbasic
namespace (such as Left()) -- it really weakens your toolset as a VB
programmer for no reason.
