   I have adopted the opposite habit, that of always using Call with subroutines,   
   and the parentheses along with it.   
      
   My main reason? In the course of development, many subs turn into functions -   
   that is, a return value from the procedure becomes useful, even if it is just a   
   boolean indicating success or failure.   
      
   If I have written Call Test(X,Y), it is then easy to turn it into Z =   
   Test(X,Y).   
      
   I suspect that I also like seeing arguments listed in parentheses when reading   
   code, and it is the more common standard in other languages.
