I assure you, the same is definitely true of VBA.

And I agree with your overall point. Shitty code often makes the world a better place. It gets a bad rap from developers because we compare it to good code. But shitty code written by non-devs is not replacing good code, it is replacing an absence of code. And shitty code, for all its sins, is still often better than no code at all (which usually has the same sins).

That's one of those things I have probably read - and agreed with - a hundred times before, but never that succinct.

I will make that mine; I hope you don't mind.
