GOTO vis-a-vis professional vs amateur programmers

I've noted a few posts by amateur programmers in these recent threads
about GOTO, who had taken offense from some of the comments made.
You should realize that these comments are targeted toward professional
programmers, for whom writing good code is a very serious business.
Though the issues about GOTO are just as true for any programmer, and
you're certainly welcome to the fray, I for one would certainly not expect
a casual programmer, especially someone who programs just for fun, to
be overly concerned about GOTO. You should take the comments only
as seriously as you take programming. :-)
