• Good luck stomping them out. Far too many people refuse to let go of their outdated information. I recall a particular instance in 1996 when someone was instructing new support people that the only time a drive could be safely set to boot was when originally formatted. Of course showing her documentation from years earlier when that changed was of no use.And when it was demonstrated that one could do it, well I just got lucky. Over and over.

    I would love to know more about only declaring variables near the top. I had assumed that was held over from the days of compiler requirements. Some still say that should be the cast in C# even though many others insist a variable should be declared as close to first use as possible.
