   It was pretty common in the 70s and 80s as well.  Not much after  
that, though.  I must admit that I had a difficult time adjusting.   
"Because everyone else does it" doesn't make something a good idea,  
but when enough people ask you what "those little arcs" are on your  
schematic, you adapt. ;)
