I agree that exceptions should not be a means of flow control except
when something exceptional has happened. The difference is between
what you think is exceptional and what I do.

Of course you are welcome to believe what you want to and voice your
opinion, but I think I speak for the rest of us when I say, "We've
heard your opinion, loud and clear."  It's okay.  Let the rest of us
voice our opinions.
