I already know real programming languages, I took 4 semesters of C++, two
semesters of Java, and one semester of Assembly. I understand the need for
declaring variables there. However, I'm not a programmer, I'm a sys admin.
When I need something done on my network, I need it done NOW. I'm not
trying to write scalable ASP applications, that's not my job.
If I'm writing template classes or something, sure. But for a simple 4 or 5
line script? There's no need for on error resume next or dim anything.

Well, when you're talking about scalability of an ASP appliction or
something, those millionths add up!

An extremely minor trade-off. Calculate the amount of time you spend type
"dim x" verses trying to figure out why your script isn't doing what you
expect only to discover after searching for an hour to see that your typed
sFistName instead of sFirstName.
And there's certainly nothing wrong with helping out the WSH along the way.
I'm sorry, but there is simply no reason NOT to declare your variables other
than laziness and lack of discipline. And if you're in this bad habit now,
you WILL change it when you start using a real programming language.
