Yes Misi, I agree with you on this one. I like being able to use the show relationships feature to cross reference code and the run process commands for re-using active links are immune to this. Apart from that they are pretty much unreadable anyway.
Create a guide and then call it from each event. It ends up being about the same amount of code and it is much easier to follow for both developer and the code cross referencing systems.
