Okay, spoofing aside, let's compare some pros and cons.
Pros - Pete's method:
Speed: Early exiting is faster.
Simplicity: Easier to write and read the condition statements.
Errors: No need to contemplate how to handle more complicated conditional statements where one statement might corrupt an upcoming statement. (ELSEIF and SELECT CASE also help when this is a factor).
Cons - Steve's method:
Steve came up with it.
Well I do applaud anyone who can think through the logic of multiple conditional statements. That's a valuable skill set to have. I used to be more like that, but I would add so much to my routines overtime, I found myself too caught up with debugging how any new introduced condition would affect the existing routine.
