This is kind of what I thought would be the majority of the responses. I've found that since the inception of web languages (ASP, PHP, etc) that I've "abused" functions a bit. I then got to thinking one day that maybe what I was doing was normal, but then I figured that it probably wasn't. At times it seems like it caused me to scramble all my logic. -Dan Joseph
