Fair point. I've never noticed that. However, there are sometimes that I 
do need to make the executable in order to test against a live data feed 
or something. So, it's probably not that important. It just irks me 
sometimes when I make a small adjustment in a project just to see if 
there is an improvement.

An example would be when we are trying to work with a badly formed html 
page from some server. Say a mis-spelliing of some name or tag due to 
the provider employee who doesn't know when to use an apostrophe (or 
just can't spell). So I inject some debug traces and stop points and 
want to run the executable until they do it again... just to see if we 
have successfully got around them somehow.

Actually, the more I think about it, it is usually when debugging that 
example that is occurs. So much code is commented out to let me focus on 
the bad data which results in many unused variables and the like. So 
maybe it is just a whinge, then.
