In all honesty I did not reread the paper.  I posted
based on the recollection that it was the basis for
my feeling no compunction about using reviled gotos
in my C / C++ code to effect multi-level exists and
continuations.  When called to task by my peers I
invoke Knuth's name.

Let's chalk it up to the fallibility of memory over
a span of more than 30 years.  Thank's for keeping me
honest.  I am printing out the paper.  Rereading it
should help me recall the state of programming when
I was first starting out.
