Hehehe. I have no objection to the idea at all; I just learned a certain
rigidity, and despite bitching about it at the time, have found that it
works for me in general. I also don't randomly jump out of loops with
things like Exit Do or Exit For. They're effectively a form of GoTo,

Not really. What makes goto so bad is that you can use it to jump *into*
loops and hence violate the flow of the code (not sure of the technical term
here). Using Exit For etc you can only jump out of loops.

and like Pascal taught, I find they're absolutely never necessary (and
only very rarely even useful) once you wrap your mind around doing without
them. Like I said, Pascal influenced my programming style significantly.
:)

How do you search for something in a list and stop the search when you find
it?
