This is useless and can bring serious headaches...

Both the Case and Switch run from the 1st condition to the last one...
so anything you write below the "else" will never (Case) or always
(Switch) be executed... then there is no need for a Case or Switch
anymore! ... just delete (Case) your code or write it outside of the
Switch block!
