    But then what would they publish on TheDailyWTF.com? 😀

    As much as I hate to admit it, I've had the dubious honor of having my code showcased on the site (WTF at the time). It was VB3 code I wrote circa 1993 for an in-house tool when I was a DBA. VB was far from my core competency so I displayed an error message box to prevent an out-of-bounds array condition instead of simply expanding the length with REDIM. My method was better than a run-time exception but clearly not the best way to address the issue.

    I'm rather thick-skinned so I would have welcomed a better suggestion, even if done in a disparaging way. The cure for ignorance is knowledge.
