Single line functions, called from a single place? To replace commented code blocks?? In the name of improving readability!? What?! (!!!) Unrelated to that: If your function name correctly and completely describes the actions taken by that function and those that it calls, then replacing a commented code block with that function isn't unreasonable. shrug I guess the ages old advice: "Dogma is bad. Rules of thumb are often useful." applies to the topics discussed in this subthread. :)
