At any given time, you see less than 2% of your diagram! Talk about tunnel vision! Lets say you're looking for some detail and your pattern recognition is so good that you need to&nbsp;glance at a screenful of code for only 10 seconds to fully comprehend it. It will take you 10 minutes just to go over your diagram. Looks like you need to work through lunch hour again...
Be very aware that most larger organizations have very strict coding guidelines and monster diagrams such as your's would be junked unseen. This is not maintainable code.
Now I am curious about the front panel....
