Paul makes a good point, I didn't notice that that was from the coding standards. So it's not claiming that there's necessarily any problem, just that the vb coding standards say not to do it.

OK, but here's a sorta related question: if someone here asks how they can do something, and they could do it by adding a few lines to a template but it involves using $_GET['do'] in a condition, should they be told to write a plugin because it's the "right" way to do it?
