No kidding. My last job a deveoper asked me to help trace Oracle errors on his project's MS web application. It was based on many, many tables which all had auto-generated triggers. Every trigger had that exception block.

I suggested to change every trigger to raise (instead of trap) errors. Of course, they didn't do it. I smiled and went back to working on my projects.

Fired? At the time, the programmer was a contractor, and just got hired back as a permanent employee at the same company.

NC. Love it. ;-)
