That is a filthy slander ...

Line numbers can be used in place of labels for GoTo statements, which you'll 
also probably also slander.  But they can be useful.  Other than that, line 
numbers can be useful for appending boiler plate code to a program.  Line 
numbers are used in handling error exceptions and handling.

Your implication that I use numbers on every line is just false.

If I'm going to have:

On Error GoTo 32000

Ahhh, what's the use, you're probably just laughing ...
