It really boils down to this:  Real men use call, sissies don't.

Personally, I haven't used Call() in probably a decade. I prefer to not clutter things with extra text and with VB.NET it is even less useful (like pointed out above). I asked because I have seen a resurgence of the Call() recently in books and magazines. I was confused as to why that was and I thought maybe I was missing something. ;)
