Then you've never programmed in VB (at least 6, don't know if .net still
does this).  Nested IF statements. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!  Thankfully, I
program mostly in Python these days.  Haven't touched VB in years.  Maybe
you should have said:

"This is standard behavior in every real programming language."

There, that should start a flame war. :)
